Alejandro Stromer - PeerSpot reviewer
Has provided deep integration with business applications and supported full content lifecycle management
OpenText Content Management has a feature that is unique in the market, which is the deep integration with leading applications, allowing reflection of the connections between different processes and objects in applications such as SAP, SuccessFactors, or Salesforce, visible inside the document management application. Without connecting to the leading application, for example SAP, you can navigate between all documentation, having a full 360-degree view of all information related to the process. This means that when you create some action regarding an object that has a connected document in the content management system, you can automatically see additional information connected, managed and controlled by the leading application, with automatic reflection in the document management system. This is a unique advantage that OpenText Content Management has, which is not found in the market. Another unique feature is the integration with Office 365, where you can work with different folders or binders in the document management system and connect to Teams in a simple way, making all this information available in the Teams you are working with. Digital Asset Management is a big part of the content management solution within OpenText Content Management, allowing full integration of all documentation, pictures, plans, and technical documentation if you have asset management inside SAP. It connects similarly to other modules of SAP but includes a special feature for asset management from a technical point of view and connects with the engineering department, providing the full life cycle from development through deployment to maintenance. This means you have the full life cycle from the beginning when you define the solution, construct it, and finally transfer it to maintenance to keep all information updated easily, avoiding risks and ensuring access to accurate information at the right moment.

Integration of diverse AI functions and adaptable features provides efficient operational solutions
From a client's perspective, I encounter several challenges when implementing new systems, and in my last role, they faced significant issues with their previous software. After assessing their situation, it was clear that continuing on their current path would lead to excessive costs. Recognizing that Sharepoint 2016 Standard could fulfill their needs efficiently, I engaged my team, and after seven months, we had a fully operational system in place. As a project manager, I design what I need from AI within Sharepoint 2016 Standard, knowing I always get good results. While the technical details may not be my forte, I have a network of strong experts working alongside me, making sure our processes succeed according to the plans I put in place.
