Streamlines document management and enhances collaboration through its robust features and intuitive interface

It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework. It employs document management methodologies. The personalization and customization capabilities of Oracle Content Management system are highly praised by customers. When they receive responses using this solution, the feedback is overwhelmingly positive. Customers love the ability to customize and personalize Oracle products to suit their needs. Integrating three Oracle products into one seamless solution enhances the user experience, making it easier for end-users to engage without being aware of the individual products involved. They simply interact with the solution, streamlining their digital processes. One significant challenge that our customers faced before implementing Oracle Content Management was effectively managing a large volume of documents. They struggled with centralizing document storage and organization. However, Oracle Content Management provided a solution by centralizing document management, making it easier and more efficient to handle. The user experience, especially in terms of simplicity and design of the Oracle Content Management interface, was a priority. I utilized the Oracle Content Management API for this purpose, ensuring seamless integration with other solutions. We consolidated three solutions into one user interface through the Oracle portal, which incorporated BPM and DPM for task management. This unified interface provided a streamlined experience for customers, rather than directly interacting with the Oracle Content Management interface. Our main challenge in implementing this was using ADF from Oracle. At the time, there was a scarcity of programmers skilled in the ADF framework in Brazil, necessitating in-house training for our team of developers to successfully execute the integration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The engineering document management system is one of the most valuable features."

"We use Core Share to share documents with external auditors or with vendors, and that prevents them from being able to get into the whole system. It is useful."

"Being able to tag metadata on documents and being able to have different workspaces in there for our documents is valuable. We do loan documents, and different types of documents have different types of retentions. We are able to categorize based on that, and we are able to do tag searching to find what we are looking for."

"The solution's automatic document numbering, state management, and process flow are very useful features to go through the full cycle of the document."

"Retention is useful. I have been pleased with the search functionality and the extensibility for tying it into integrations with other systems and building workflows on top of it."

"Smart Viewing videos are most valuable for the end users. The end users like the look and feel of Smart View. It's similar to SharePoint, with the latest HTML5 features, filters, and everything. It's like online shopping."

"The seamless integration between SAP and OpenText offers a 360-degree view of documents, facilitating a full-text search capability."

"We can configure the solution with any industry's products per customer requirements."

More OpenText Extended ECM pros

"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

Cons

"The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly."

"OpenText Extended ECM's user interface could be improved."

"The tool's documentation is not proper and has missing information like steps."

"User interface needs improvement (at least in the version we are using, desktop client)."

"A dashboard with information would be nice to see."

"I have not used it enough to start running into issues. Some of my technical guys could name a couple of things, but in terms of support, we did have challenges getting good responses from them."

"The architecture needs improvement, as it's complex."

"The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved."

More OpenText Extended ECM cons

"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."

"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is costly. It's costly to integrate with Office 365 and to go back and forth with the sales team."

"OpenText Extended ECM's pricing and licensing are aggressive and confusing for the end customer."

"The licensing is not that complex for the core products, but it becomes more complicated for some additional modules."

"It is a little more expensive than our previous solution, but because of the fact that it has become a rallying point for different groups to come under, it might end up paying off better in the long run by not having seven siloed solutions. Even though this one solution is a little pricey, it might eliminate other ones."

"The product is pricey."

"OpenText Extended ECM is an expensive solution."

"The total cost of the product will vary on the capabilities required"

"The solution is expensive."
