Legacy ECM Replacement (powered by SEAL)
Frequently, traditional ECM (Enterprise Content Management) software is used mainly for unified content repository, archiving and records management, which translates into high maintenance & operational costs and poor user experience. Due to inflexible platforms and lack of advanced records management capabilities we are seeing a surge in the number of unhappy customers and thus huge business opportunity to decommission/replace legacy ECM.
SPECIFIC CUSTOMER PAINS AND NEEDS
- Organizations are looking to archive and manage multiple content types;
- Aging on-premises archiving platforms are being replaced by more modern solutions;
- Need for decommissioning legacy application while still keeping access to their data with lower costs;
- Mobile access − access to archived content through a mobile web-based browser (smartphone, tablet, laptop, and so forth) and mobile apps for iOS and Android;
- Enterprise Content Management Companies have more than 15.000 active and mostly unhappy customers;
- Legacy ECM losing focus on technology and benefits;
- Limitations of legacy ECM architectures and poor cloud integration and support (no multi-tenancy, difficult back-up and restore process, difficult automatic failover and failback processes);
- Archiving as a service (a.k.a. cloud archiving) has rapidly surpassed on-premises archiving;
- Lack of advanced records management capabilities (WORM, retentions, digital shredding, extra cost for specialized records management capabilities etc.);
- High maintenance costs with the information archiving platform software maintenance renewals, support contracts and with the document capture component;
- Extra costs for standard functionalities (viewer, records management functionalities, etc.);
- Poor user experience for unified content repository, archiving and records management use cases;
- Poor support for mobility of traditional ECM platforms;
