Improving data accessibility and security through enhanced interface design
In my current role, we use Mobius to capture data. We are partnered with the government, and the Mobius app is used to ensure accurate data capture. We use it alongside Salesforce to document our clients' entire process as they go through programs, capturing details of their work journey Mobius…

Offers version control capabilities, easy to set up but highly-priced
The main thing is the cost. Most of the time, organizations move away from Documentum due to cost. It's highly-priced, and the support costs are high. Now, SharePoint and other options. Microsoft gives free licenses, so organizations mainly look for cost-effective products. The second thing is updates and patching. We patch very often, every six months or a year. We have SP1, SP2, and SP3, and then suddenly, it's moved out of support. That's the organization's main pain area. They don't want to keep investing from a storage perspective. The licensing model should be changed. The product itself is out of support. They have not considered it for AI initiatives. The new version should be on the cloud. I'm not sure if the new version of Documentum, xECM, is cloud compatible or on which cloud it is compatible, but the OpenText server itself is on a cloud, which would be beneficial to the business. And it would also be easier for migration.

"Mobius excels in ensuring data security for captured content, which is crucial."
"Two things are excellent in Documentum. One is business process management. The other is its support for metadata."

"It is well supported by Microsoft."

Cons

"Sales and service need to be more consistent."
"The setup and the support could be improved when it comes to populating the reports from a mainframe environment."
"If it were up to me, I wouldn't use Mobius due to its lack of accessibility and outdated interface."
"The primary area for improvement is the platform's accessibility."
"The price is quite high as the licensing prices are significant."
"While generally secure, some noted security issues need consideration. The installation process for on-premise setup needs improvement as well."

"An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site."

"The initial setup was very complex."

"It is too heavy. MS should not have paid foreign coders dollars per each row of code. They wasted the stability and reliability in the end."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
"The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control."

At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
