Documentum Platform – Content Management and Repository Services
The Documentum platform delivers a comprehensive suite of application-level services for content-enabled solutions. Based on over 25 years of investment in Enterprise Content Management and related technologies, this platform is designed to capture, store, organise, retrieve, secure and produce content within an enterprise computing environment.
The architecture uses the Documentum Enterprise Content Management System as the primary repository to store all data and content relating to the solution. It allows the unstructured data to be managed in a conducive manager to assist the processing of the input channels.
Documentum xCelerated Composition Platform (xCP)
The Documentum® xCelerated Composition Platform (xCP) enables organisations to rapidly build and deploy case-based and business process management applications at a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and with fewer resources. Documentum xCP sets the new standard for rapidly building case-based and business process management solutions by providing a single composition platform that combines a fully integrated set of technologies along with development and deployment tooling, best practices, and a design emphasis on configuration versus coding.
The Documentum xCP platform is selected as the primary user interface and workflow driver for the proposed solution. It is frequently selected as the case management platform for investigative, citizen services and grants case management solutions and its declarative user interface, strong content management capabilities and powerful Business Process Management and Integration capabilities makes it uniquely capable of fulfilling the diverse requirements associated with modern case management applications. The included Business Activity Monitor (BAM) provides the main capability to support the Performance Management requirement.
We believe our Case Management Solutions can streamline the business processes and increase efficiencies in organisations in both the public and the private sector.
Case Management combines Enterprise Content Management and Business Process Management (BPM) technologies into one solution.
It addresses business functions in both the Front Office such as investigations, benefits eligibility, disbursement and tracking, licensing and permitting, certification, grants and subsidies, virtual patient records and claims processing; but it is also a plat-form approach that can be applied to other day-to-day transactions, including in the Back Office as depicted below, namely dispute resolution, contracts management, correspondence management, travel management, and integrated procurement as shown in the figure below or any other manually intensive process that can strain resources.
The key capabilities as required by a complete Intelligent Dynamic Case Management solution are all provided in our solution as listed below, namely:
- Information capture
- Data
- Content management and Repository
- Business process management
- Monitoring and Reporting
- Collaboration
- Customer communication management
Our Consulting Services will focus on the provision of consulting related to the implementation of an enterprise content management solution in an organisation such as the user requirements analysis and verification process prior to an organisation going out to the market in a procurement process through a bid or quotation process with a User Requirement Specification as deliverables. The development of strategies and plans for corporate information management, records management, back scanning of paper, document migration, change management and the definition and development of file plans that will be taken through approval at the National Archives and Records Service of South Africa (NARS), the current government institution responsible for the approval of file plans used in public sector organisations at all levels, will also be done as part of our consulting services.
We provide high-speed scanners for paper, microfiche and microfilm scanning to enable organisations to convert their current paper and microfiche/film repositories into live, believe archives unlocking the value contained in the history of an organisation. Furthermore, a back-file conversion service can be provided to clients for digitisation especially for high and/or complex scanning requirements. At the same time, using the same hardware and software, our digitisation solutions enable clients to scan their incoming, day-to-day correspondence, invoices, POD’s, claims, and faxes and to manage them electronically via workflow.
With our experience in government departments, we are able to assist organisations in organising their physical records in such a way that they can be managed via an electronic system. The team have the skills and qualifications to help clients create File Plans according to National Archives and Records Service (NARS) specifications, and to implement the file plans once approved by National Archives and Records Service. Our solutions enable organisations to manage physical records within the same system as their electronic records and emails, so that they have a common File Plan, common retention- and disposition rules and the same security levels on all types of records.
OneSpan enables financial institutions and other organizations to succeed by making bold advances in their digital transformation. We do this by establishing trust in people’s identities, the devices they use, and the transactions that shape their lives. We believe that this is the foundation of enhanced business enablement and growth.
More than 10,000 customers, including over half of the top 100 global banks, rely on OneSpan solutions to protect their most important relationships and business processes. From digital onboarding to fraud mitigation to workflow management, OneSpan’s unified, open platform reduces costs, accelerates customer acquisition and increases customer satisfaction.
For organisations that do not have large IT infrastructures or who do not want the capital outlay of an enterprise-wide IT implementation, we offer the same unique business applications in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. A monthly subscription based on usage and transactions as well as broad band internet access is all that is required. A client can be able to scan, store and manage their documents and records and to work in a collaborative way using team rooms and workflow to conduct their business, minutes after signing up for the service. In the background, all the IT applications and infrastructure is managed and hosted by Faranani DocTec.
