Successful Enterprise Information Management

Like anything of lasting value, a successful EIM strategy has to be nurtured. It is a multi-year venture that must be fostered and nourished, but the payoff is significant and the benefits can be experienced early in the life of the EIM system.

Open Text will offer you a half day EIM Strategy Workshop by Walter Köhler (OpenText Senior Vice President Professional Services VP Global Services EMEA). His presentation on EIM Strategy was rated "most useful" of all sessions given at our past 2 annual customer days Benelux by all attended customers.

The workshop will start with a brief overview of EIM technologies and the EIM market, current business challenges, before focusing on the following essential areas:

• Business Drivers for EIM
  Compliance, efficient collaboration across departments, back-office process automation and IT consolidation are the key drivers for EIM projects. We will discuss in detail how to identify potential EIM solutions for your business in these areas.


• Business Cases – the Open Text Solution Maps
  By means of customer examples, we will present best practices for process-oriented EIM solutions for both your back-office departments like Finance, HR or Legal as well as industry-specific solutions for the cross sectors and for Retail specifically.


• Methodology and first steps
  We will discuss a practical approach to define an EIM roadmap for your organization, to identify and prioritize the business areas and solutions to start with as well as the specific change management issues around deploying EIM successfully.

If you would like to understand the benefits of EIM to your business, and are considering deploying (or are currently deploying) an EIM strategy, you will not want to miss this opportunity.

EIM Strategy

Enterprise Information Management (EIM) enables organizations to manage their unstructured information, wherever that information exists. OpenText EIM technologies and business solutions allow organizations to take full advantage of enterprise information and gain better business insight, create a positive business impact, increase process velocity, reduce risks related to information governance, and protect intellectual property from internal leaks and external threats. So if your organization needs to capture, store, preserve, and/or deliver content and documents, it should consider an EIM strategy.

Very few organisations use every aspect of EIM, but even if you only rely on one, you should have a strategy that will help to sustain it and foster it into the future. By participating in this interactive workshop you will understand how EIM can help your organization and you will be provided with some hands-on tools to get started.
