Enterprise Information Management as a Service (EIMaaS)

Customer Success Story – Energy Organisation

The Business Problem

Our customer is an energy company that operates in Australasia and North America, who had been using an EIM as a service provider for a number of years, but were looking for an alternative provider better able to meet its business requirements.

Identified Business Challenges

• The EIM solution used out-of-date technology which needed to be upgraded
• The EIM solution was not running on scalable, fault tolerant architecture
• Poor response times for responding to issues raised
• Lack of flexibility to respond to business requests for changes/improvements to the solution.

Solution Overview and Functionality

The organisation engaged Astral to provide EIMaaS services for the OpenText Documentum solution.  This included initially migrating the existing system to a private cloud system and then performing an upgrade to the latest Documentum version.

To deliver an innovative and cost-effective application support solution for the EIM solution, Astral teamed with its strategic partners to leverage a global delivery platform and expertise around the OpenText Documentum product suite. Our delivery experience enabled us to deliver as a seamless blended team and leverage the best resource model.
