5 Reasons Why You Need to Integrate Your Documentum Repository

After the Documentum acquisition by OpenText, you may have considered replacing your legacy Documentum installation with a new enterprise content management (ECM) system. However, migration of your outdated Documentum installation might not be the right choice. This blog sets out 5 simple reasons you may want to follow the integration path. 

With the help of an integration platform and intelligent integration connectors, Documentum content becomes immediately available in a new application. So why integrate Documentum? Read on for five simple reasons why you might want to integrate your Documentum installation rather than migrate to an entirely new solution.

Have you implemented the correct compliance and retention rules within your legacy Documentum system and are now incorporating a lot of intelligence? Then clearly you want to keep this intelligence and choose integration over migration.

Your Documentum installation might be outdated and may not meet the needs of the user, but the content that is present in your installation is very valuable to every process in your organization. When it comes to replacing the user interface, integration is a faster option than migration. And less messy. 

4. Internal document streams
If your organization processes internal document streams directly in Documentum, and these processes are outstanding, you likely would rather not transfer these processes to a new system. With a content integration approach, you are guaranteed that the processes are not interrupted, which is better for the organization.
