Driven by the requirements of their business and government regulations, pharmaceutical companies manage enormous quantities of content. To address the need, most life sciences companies have deployed dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of individual, unconnected document management solutions. The result is an environment that hinders business processes rather than enables them.

 

Most of the content in these disparate systems are file-based documents, which presents a second barrier to more effective content management and reuse. IT planners know that the solution is to shift toward a structured content model, in which documents are broken up and stored as a set of components, each of which can be reused and recombined to address multiple needs.

 

The transition from a set of unconnected document management applications to a rationalized, consolidated enterprise content model is difficult to navigate. xmContent is a completely configurable, out-of-the-box solution built on Documentum 5.3, using the WebTop interface that directly answers that need.

 

By combining support for file-based documents and XML-based structured content in a single highly scalable system, xmContent provides the perfect environment for your next content management initiative.
