Managed Services – EIMaaS
Astral Managed Services – EIM as a Service (EIMaaS) involves providing an end-to-end service to the consumer, as opposed to disparate fragmented technology pieces that the consumer needs to piece together.
Organisations can leverage Astral’s People, Process, & Technology components through the EIMaaS offering, to manage their Enterprise Information Management solutions.
Delivers your enterprise content to your consumers regardless of technology or organisation
The EIM Managed Service provides you with full hosting, management, and support solutions for your critical and non-critical EIM applications by leveraging AWS and/or Azure public or private cloud platforms.
The Managed Service can be tailored to meet your requirements based on geography, service levels, and data sovereignty to name just a few.
EIMaaS covers support level 1 to level 4, with 24×7 follow-the-sun capability to ensure that certified knowledge consultants are always available to resolve your business issues.
How you will benefit in using Astral’s End-to-End EIM Managed Service:
- A coordinated approach to “People”, “Process”, & “Technology”, meaning:
- Support Consultants will understand your business, certified consultants will manage technology.
- Existing process and governance to reduce risk (e.g. Security/Audit).
- Your EIM Solution will be supported and regularly patched.
- Ability to leverage cloud technologies – for example HA/DR – cost savings.
- Preventative Maintenance & Monitoring allows action to be taken before events become an issue to the end user.
You will benefit from the experience of a team fully focused on EIM across multiple products and industries. You can focus your internal team on your business without having to develop internal expertise across both business and technical areas to support your business requirements.

Leveraging Astral’s coordinated approach to People, Process, & Technology, your organisation will gain access to fully functioning applications that are supported by a dedicated team.
Provides an ECM application layer for you to configure your EIM Solutions
Ultimately, organisations are no longer interested in servers and data centres. Organisations are looking for EIM to be delivered reliably, regardless of technology. As a result, Astral’s Platform Managed Service is an ideal starting point for your organisation.
EIM solutions can be complex and can create Technical Debt which can result in difficult upgrade paths, often resulting in platforms that are out-of-date and unsupported. The objective of Astral’s Platform Managed Service is to reduce the Technical Debt and provide a platform that oblivious to the user is always being patched and/or upgraded.
Your EIM solution is critical to your business. The Platform Managed Service recognises this and puts in place a cloud-based HA/DR architecture that will reduce single points of failures (SPOF) and can be scaled as required.
Utilising an experienced team saves over-investing in internal resource
Cloud providers have invested large amounts of money in building security compliant, high data throughput data centres around the globe. CIOs do not have access to the same budgets as Azure & AWS, therefore it is impractical to build or co-locate – the most practical approach is to use what has been built.
Astral’s certified Cloud Team can manage your AWS and Azure cloud environment for your critical EIM solutions, including initial setup, lift-and-shifts, on-going running, and Continuity of Business requirements.
Astral has the experience of deploying the OpenText EIM suite of products on various Cloud environments. Astral knows what works best for your individual EIM situation.
