OpenText™ Extended ECM for Oracle® E-Business Suite
Improves Efficiency and Reduces Costs for Large-Scale Real Estate
Operations
WATERLOO, Ontario, May 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenText™ (NASDAQ:
OTEX, TSX: OTEX), a global leader in Enterprise Information
Management (EIM), today announced that Barwa Real Estate Group,
focused on large-scale commercial and residential developments
throughout the Middle East, is
using OpenText Extended ECM for Oracle® E-Business Suite (EBS) to
simplify information management, cut costs and improve efficiency
for its large-scale real estate operations.
Barwa's large-scale commercial and residential developments
generate vast amounts of unstructured content from dozens of
organizations and thousands of individuals, who each require
access to the data. The firm faced a number of challenges in
managing the growing volume and diversity of digital content. Barwa
needed a central way to organize the documents spread across
physical locations and 'licensed-user-only' digital systems,
including Oracle® EBS, while maintaining version control to
identify the canonical latest version of key documents with
confidence.
Barwa engaged Mannai Trading Company, an IT services division of
Mannai Corporation and leading OpenText partner in the region to
help find a solution. With Mannai's guidance, Barwa selected
OpenText Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite to store and
manage its unstructured content directly within the context of its
Oracle® EBS ERP system.
"Now that all our content lives in one place, we have eliminated
the problem of duplication," said Kavindra
Gali, ERP Technical Expert, Barwa Real Estate Group. "Users
can access documents more quickly, trust that the results are
comprehensive, and know they have the latest version. The solution
has fostered collaboration and reduced the number of content
inquiries, while improving our business and reducing the cost of
storage."
With its easy integration into the existing Oracle system, Barwa
now has an overarching information management system which all
users can access through a single sign on. The large volume of
documents Barwa generates is now centralized in the OpenText
system, which is optimized for transaction data operations. With
the capabilities of OpenText Content Suite, the Extended ECM
Platform provides access control to ensure that only authorized
users can access and edit content. As a result, Barwa now has a
reliable single source of truth for its information assets, with
sophisticated content search, summary EBS transaction data and
relevant OpenText document folders for the existing transaction all
available on screen.
"The OpenText solution quickly and seamlessly delivers content
without users having to leave their familiar Oracle setup," said
Gali. "The single sign-on means that once users are authenticated
on EBS, they can access the content they need without signing in
multiple times, to multiple applications, which helps us further
improve efficiency. Users have really welcomed this. We are
delighted with the solution and support that OpenText and Mannai
provided."
OpenText Extended ECM for Oracle® E-Business Suite manages all
forms of content throughout its lifecycle, providing consistent,
secure and auditable information governance to all forms of
information. Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite combines
automated capture of physical and electronic content, on-going
management within all user environments, and classification and
records management. It also provides the ability to search and find
all types of content, automate processes both inside and outside
the ERP system, and share content within and external to the
organization.
