Documentum 6 represents a significant advance in enterprise content management (ECM) and electronic document management (EDM) systems. This is a major upgrade to the product, which includes many exciting technological enhancements, performance improvements and key product integrations, which significantly extend the functionality of the product.

You will probably already have Documentum’s version 5 but wish to take advantage of the many new features of Documentum 6. But you will want to be certain that your organisation will fully enjoy the potential benefit of the upgrade, and effective planning is key.

In considering a Documentum 6 upgrade, you will certainly feel it important to understand exactly what the benefits will be for your business. Additionally, you will want to ensure that the value you are getting from your existing system is carried through and improved with the new system.

You will also want to know that your upgrade will proceed faultlessly using tried and trusted techniques. With any major upgrade Aptus carries out detailed reviews of the product and lab investigations of the upgrade process within our own test environments in advance of any upgrades to our clients' systems. In addition, we have taken part in the EMC Rapid Success Program for version 6 upgrades to gain a full understanding of the upgrade process. This coupled with our deep knowledge of the product means that you can be confident that your upgrade is in safe hands.

We can either work as part of an integrated team with your in-house staff, or we can undertake the complete engagement on your behalf.

We will review your current ECM/EDM solution and provide you with a report that details all the steps that are necessary to move from your existing platform to Documentum 6, and the options you have for utilising the architectural and technological advances within the new version.

Having worked with you to determine the upgrade route to be taken, our consultants will plan the work and carry out the upgrade, working in conjunction with your own staff to ensure a smooth delivery of the upgraded solution to the business.
