We are using SAP System and SAP products for eCommerce as well. Our business has a big catalog of products and offerings. Also based on time products images, documents and videos get modified so frequently. So these digital assets flow to applications very frequently and there are many use cases where images format and quality need to be checked. As OpenText has provided integration with SAP without much effort application is ready. Also features of rights and permissions and meta-tagging, sharing features are very useful and help businesses to reduce operating costs as well as deliver a similar experience to users.
