Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use OnBase as our system of records for document management and retention. We also use OnBase as a tool for creating student forms which route through workflows that multiple departments use. Using OnBase forms and workflow in the capacity we do has transformed the way [...] processes students documents. We went from 4 week turn around times on transcript processing for evaluation to a day. We went from paper forms, to PDF forms that were emailed to the end user to now digital forms that route to workflow queues.
Pros
  • Forms/Workflow
  • Document Mangement
  • User friendly
Cons
  • Documentation in MRG's/on documentation site
  • Accessibility settings in unity forms for WCAG compliance
  • More features in Unity and Web client that currently only in Thick Client
Likelihood to Recommend
OnBase is well suited for institutions that have a capable technology team where there are multiple staff who are responsible for administrative tasks in OnBase. We have a staff of 2 administrators and 3 analysts at [..].

OnBase makes ECM a task, not a chore.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
OnBase by Hyland is being used as our enterprise content management system with a specific focus on automating processes within specific business areas. By allowing rapid importing of physical and digital artifacts into the ECM, OnBase provides the means to store, search, retrieve and process these artifacts. Our organizational business areas are then able to automate what was once manual tasks by leveraging the ability to define workflows that are congruent to internal business processes.
Pros
  • Workflows move documents through business processes with ease and functionality that is not possible in a physical exclusive environment.
  • Storage and retrieval are simple and easy and eliminates the need for physical storage space of documents and files.
  • Document retention allows for compliance with internal policy and procedure for longevity of document maintenance as well as regulatory considerations.
Cons
  • Continued use of the thick client to perform administrative tasks.
  • There is a high level of complexity involved with workflow development.
  • Use of OS services to perform tasks within the application.
Likelihood to Recommend
When properly designed and implemented, OnBase is a robust, highly functional enterprise content management solution that provides an easy to use interface for the end users. The end user experience is customizable, while at the same time, provides system administrators the ability to standardize many features and aspects of the client. This, combined with the ease of deployment and maintenance, makes it a great solution for ECM needs.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
At the University of New Mexico, OnBase is our exclusive repository for handing student documents related to the enrollment management experience. We use the product for storing documents as well as processing them through various Workflows that support our business processes. This helps us track and manage an enrollment of approximately 30,000 students and be able to easily track the status of a students application to the University, Financial Aid questions or concerns, and registration issues. Not only do we use this system internally to our departments but students interact with the system by filling out web forms that help us gather information from students quickly and more effectively than through e-mail or paper methods.
Pros
  • Tools to assist with configuration changes especially for Workflow processes.
  • Easy to query the database to pull reports on usage.
  • Support for a wide variety of files that can be stored within the product.
  • Great support channels for resolving application issues.
Cons
  • Lack of feature parity between clients. Some features are supported in Thick Client, but not in Unity Client (Or the other way around).
  • Confusing menu structures within administrative programs. Lots of bouncing between programs in order to configure or tweak things.
  • Report Services is an additional license and should be included with the base product.
Likelihood to Recommend
Works great for organizations with distributed personnel and has the ability to allow segmentation based on organizational rules, and for organizations who need to split storage costs for documents. Good support for a variety of file types and best suited for a primarily Windows environment. While it is possible for non Windows users to interact with OnBase through a web client, the experience will be less than ideal. For heavy scanning environments its best to stick with the traditional OnBase Client as the Unity Client (OnBase 16 SP2) still struggles with handling large batches of documents.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are using OnBase by Hyland throughout our organization. The primary reason we bought it was to move from a paper patient chart to an electronic one; however, we also realized that it was powerful and flexible enough to support additional departments. It now handles our patient chart, our employees' HR records, financial department documents like AP statements, invoices, and remittance advices as well as educational content. It has handled every file type we've thrown at it, from PDFs to scanned documents to video and audio files.
Pros
  • Organizing and managing myriad forms of data--I haven't met a file type I can't organize.
  • Working across applications--OnBase by Hyland does particularly well integrating in with all kinds of different applications like CYMA, QuickBooks, Epic, Netsmart, and more.
  • It works well with regulatory frameworks, providing data security and compliance built in with multiple different methods.
Cons
  • It is really complex. This isn't something that I'd buy and implement in an hour.
  • In the spirit of moving forward but staying put, I feel like they go down too many roads at one time instead of pushing towards transformational changes.
  • It's complicated at times for end-users, too. You have to shut off avenues at times so they can understand how to use it.
Likelihood to Recommend
OnBase by Hyland shines wherever you need to manage loose documents. These may be electronic files that are sitting on a computer or it may be a room full of paper files. Either way, you can choose your document types, categories, access, and tags with ease. It is incredibly robust and will store millions of files securely and safely.

The Cadillac of CMS.. it will nickle and dime but it has a great ride.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I implemented Hyland Onbase as both a simple and complex document management system across many different market segments for the sole purpose of making scanned and virtual documents easily searchable and accessible. The workflow capabilities of the product as well as the Unity web interface and the ability to seamlessly tie into most 3rd party applications to allow easy associated information lookups within Onbase led to a very dynamic and game-changing product over how companies previously managed their information.
Pros
  • Integration with third party applications is amazing. Being able to get documents and information through email, folder importing, mainframe screens, other applications, and xml/csv streams was simple, powerful, and effective.
  • The Application Enabler utility is one of the best I've seen which allows integration with 3rd party applications to easily pull up and locate related information within an Onbase system.
  • The administration of the platform is simple and with minimal training can be maintained by a regular system administrator.
Cons
  • The Administrator interface, while powerful, is antiquated and has so many options to chose from it can be overwhelming at times trying to find what you need in order to accomplish a task.
  • The Unity application is a work in progress and is missing out of some features that are much better in the thick client, such as scanning documents in at high volume. This has improved over time, though.
  • Hyland Onbase is a content management platform and, while it does handle ingestion and scanning processes, does require a 3rd party application to really complete the whole package. Hyland's Perceptive platform or Kofax Capture complement it greatly.
Likelihood to Recommend
Hyland Onbase is simple, effective, and just works for when it comes to content management systems. Many companies rely on static folder structures for storing information or Excel/Access tables which can easily become a mess whereas with Onbase every document is unique and access can be restricted/audited depending on user permissions. It allows for a company to easily take control of their information and be more productive.
