SAP to resell Open Text enterprise content management
1 min read
SAP is now offering Open Text’s document management software to “help customers increase business process efficiency, reduce risks and ensure compliance with government regulations”.
Based on Open Text’s Livelink ECM (enterprise content management) solutions, SAP will resell applications as ‘SAP Archiving by Open Text’ and ‘SAP Document Access by Open Text’.
SAP has worked with Open Text for some 20 years, and SAP-orientated Livelink systems are alive and well in around 2,500 SAP customer sites around the world.
SAP Archiving by Open Text incorporates the imaging, SAP data and document archiving components of Livelink ECM. The pair claim it’s a secure, cost-effective solution, and it stores data on optical media or compliant disk storage with logical to physical archive management.
That model helps to lower the cost and risk of meeting data retention and destruction requirements.
Document Access by Open Text incorporates the capabilities of the archiving solution and extends it with the ability to provide SAP applications with a process-orientated and application-spanning view of all business documents and data across SAP and non-SAP applications. A Web browser-based interface also allows occasional users to easily retrieve content.
Both suites can now be purchased and supported directly from SAP.
