Dubai - MENA Herald: The Dell EMC™ Enterprise Content Division (ECD), a leader in the enterprise content management industry, today announced the general availability of the latest version of Dell EMC Documentum Platform, the world’s most robust and trusted enterprise content management repository. The latest version, Documentum 7.3, significantly reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) and time associate with upgrades by creating easier delivery and deployment of new applications and enabling a cloud-first strategy, both of which address the demands of existing customers and the broader content management community.
“Today, nearly all enterprise organizations take a ‘virtualized-server-only’ approach to new applications in their datacenter,” said Mark Arbour, Head of Product Management for Documentum Products, Dell EMC Enterprise Content Division. “This push toward virtualization and cost reduction has driven adoption of the ‘software-defined datacenter’ worldwide as IT faces pressures to compete with external commercial services. With today’s announcement, we are well positioned to provide unprecedented agility and efficiency to help customers deliver applications at the speed of business.”
During the last half of 2016, ECD engaged customers and ECM experts to prove out the significant cost savings and benefits of adopting Documentum 7.3. The new release not only meets the goals set for time and TCO savings, but surpasses expectations in two out of three areas: 30-40% infrastructure savings (previously 30-40%); 70-80% database savings (previously 60-70%); and 30-75% upgrade time savings (previously 30-40%).
Reducing Time and TCO
Open Source and Cloud Support
Documentum 7.3’s database and operating system enhancements power 60 to 80 percent cost savings.
Continuous Deployment & Reduced Downtime
Documentum 7.3 also offers customers potential time savings of up to 75 percent with continuous deployment and integration functionality.
Seamless Upgrades
With the SimShip feature, all products within the Documentum family – 18 products and connectors – have been certified to work seamlessly with the latest platform. This allows customers to immediately tap into new features and benefits, eliminating delays and incompatibility issues. The day-one access can facilitate as much as a 25 percent longer solution life for organizations, maximizing the return on investment (ROI) of the upgrade.
Improved System Performance and Smaller Footprint
Documentum 7.3 also moves above and beyond customer expectations for continuous delivery by introducing application container support with Docker. Docker containers enjoy small footprints that reduce the number of physical or virtual servers required to run an application
Extending Investment Value
In addition, Documentum 7.3 is engineered to work “better together” with the Dell EMC LEAP Platform and apps (announced today) through a hybrid layer. This layer allows customers to extend the value of their current investments in Documentum (or InfoArchive) by seamlessly accessing the complementary capabilities of LEAP, which is designed to address use cases that are better suited to exchanging content outside the firewall in a secure way.
