Has supported enterprise document storage but lacks cloud readiness and AI capabilities

The new version of IBM ECM is at the end of support, and we need to migrate to a new version to get open support. We need AI capabilities from IBM ECM for additional functionalities in the next release. Specifically, AI is needed for finding documents. The trend is moving toward AI, and for managing many documents effectively, we need AI capabilities. Currently, IBM ECM only handles physical files, not unstructured files. IBM needs to work alongside customers and share best practices for IBM ECM. Reading the IBM Redbook alone is not sufficient for the knowledge we need to build the best architecture for my company. IBM ECM needs to improve the cloud version, such as compatibility with Amazon Cloud, not only IBM Cloud, to make their product more competitive.

Powerful data model building enables comprehensive document management for government sectors

The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers. The resources on Hyland are good but lack exercises and use cases to apply by oneself during learning. There is not much practice to apply that knowledge directly on Nuxeo and get further details into the platform.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The scalability is a valuable feature, that we're able to display our documents to so many people."

"It has allowed us to take all of our faxes and put them directly into our systems versus having to print them off first and then scan them in, greatly speeding up our front-end processing and making us a lot more efficient."

"With the new version of Datacap that we're on now, what had took nine months to train somebody, now takes just a couple weeks."

"We've used CMOD or its predecessor for 25 years, so that's pretty stable."

"The experiences of our internal and external customers have absolutely changed since implementing the solution, as it is a pleasure to use the system to manage the data, we are more organized, we are more agile, we have more information, and we can react to that information better."

"FileNet/IBM really excels when you get into the hundreds of thousands – the millions – of documents, and having some structure and some metadata on those documents."

"The most valuable features are the enterprise scaling capabilities."

"The content management is all about you as you can make the same content for minimal purpose solutions applications."

More IBM ECM pros

"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."

"Nuxeo content management engine is powerful and can be adjusted to any need (user interface, document types, automations, workflows)."

Cons

"We’d like for it to be able to ingest reports that were created on the distributed side and get them into the same repository, where you have one repository for all reports."

"The development platform is not local. For example, you need 100 days in IBM, whereas other platforms, like ServiceNow, need only 20 days."

"I think we need to see less dependence on Java, and get away from those applets."

"Datacap is a very complex system. It is very much an ease-of-use issue."

"Currently, IBM ECM only handles physical files, not unstructured files."

"We abandoned our Case manager solution as it was so complex and cost-prohibitive for us."

"I would like to see seamless application integration."

"With Datacap, the development piece should definitely be improved; the usability. It's a little hard to use."

More IBM ECM cons

"Pricing is too high. Nuxeo Studio has a fixed price, no matter the number of active users is."

"The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Reach out to local IBM partners."
