Improve Business Process Efficiency and Regulatory Compliance with Enterprise-Level Content Management

Are you faced with managing and accessing large amounts of files, documents and content spread across all departments of your business, fr om marketing and sales through to legal, finance, production, and service?

Structured systems, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM) and supply-chain management (SCM) platforms, are essential to supporting many core business processes. But managing related unstructured information is a significant challenge that can lead to unintended consequences including inefficient working practices, additional training costs, complicated content searches and disparate business processes.

TerraLink’s extended enterprise content management solution (ECM), which is based on the OpenText™ Extended ECM platform, provides a cross-application single source of truth within or across functional operations of the business.

End-to-end opportunity to revenue process with extended ECM

There is also the option of integrating SAP Business Suite® software such as SAP® Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). It also integrates with SAP S/4HANA, SAP® SuccessFactors®, Salesforce®, Microsoft Office 365, or any other enterprise software, bridging the gap between structured information and related unstructured information and giving you unprecedented levels of data control and transparency.

As a result, your business processes are supported end-to-end across different applications, delivering improved process efficiency through the integration of content into business applications and improved regulatory compliance by managing content through its complete lifecycle.

What are the common challenges of extended enterprise content management?

Enterprise content management presents numerous challenges, including the unnecessary duplication of content when multiple repositories are used across a business. Unless each of those duplicates is updated simultaneously, this can lead to a lack of trust in company data if the most recent version of a file is not available to all stakeholders. Running separate content silos can also lead to documents and files being managed under different governance practices and security policies, which can lead to extra compliance issues.

Some firms also find employees have to switch between different applications to complete a single workflow, which can cause unnecessary delays and frustration. If your business uses different applications to manage its content, the resulting different user experiences can also lead to additional training costs.
