Intelex vs. MEGA HOPEX Platform vs. OpenText Documentum

I would caution colleagues to make sure the system does what they need it to do and get it all in writing.

MEGA is well suited for

• Service Architecture definition

• Service relationships

• Service that supports process and vice versa

• Business process definition

• Definition of Business Entities

• Management of business entities

• Business Entity managed by services

• Creation of service reports

MEGA is less appropriate for:

• Business Service management information (who is “developing, responsible, etc.” for business services)

• Business services contracts

• Business services performance management

Documentum is best used in medium to large institutions that can afford it, have alternate solutions for web publishing, and who have either in-house developers or can hire good Documentum developers (not the ones who know Java but do not understand ECM). It is, in my opinion, the best heavy duty ECM solution out there, assuming OT is not gutting it as we speak. That is my only hesitation to not giving it a 10, OpenText is an unknown quantity in this and I worry that they will only support Documentum until they have figured out how to fill the gap between Documentum and OT and then offer a migration path to OT with a Documentum sunsetting as an incentive.

• Records management: Compared to other content management systems, this provides a efficient and scalable solution. It gives lot of flexibility in managing the content as Records or Legal holds.
• Workflow system has external plugins to connect with FAX, Mail, Database and FTP servers etc. which gives an option to integrate with any system with documentum.
• Creation of websites and maintenance is easy. Content authors can create the pages with effective mechanism.

• Implementation process is very difficult unless you are using the product out of the box
• Licensing model is frustrating but they are willing to be flexible to make things work

• API for external use
• Query engine (join between metaclass)
• Export tools
• Web site generator

• WDK framework has been the biggest drawbacks from the application speed point of view, as well as client complexity and not so natural look and feel. Yes, with the latest releases much of these features are improved.
• EMC is very expensive to buy, own and support, where some products require many dependent Docuemntum products to be installed to work at its best.

Stability is a key factor as well as its flexibility. Also, any organization that deploys Documentum will have made a significant investment in terms of time and money, so not renewing its commitment can come with a significant cost. That said, the decision to deploy Documentum initially should come only after extensive evaluation, knowing that once deployed it will likely remain the platform of choice.

We just upgrade the document control application from V5 to V6. There are still quite a bit of issues left unresolved.

Support is better than with ECM, but could use some improvement.

We felt Intelex was more user friendly and provided the services we were seeking in a system. We evaluated all applications vs. our company needs and wants.

In the software selection, we evaluate also
Enterprise Architect; but it was evaluated non enough easy to use. Open source software are non available.

At the time it was purchased it was one of the best, most robust solutions available on the market.
