Worth Considering Depending On Your Needs
My company uses Oracle WebCenter Content for automating part of our Accounts Payable (AP) processes by ingesting new invoices. The AP department is very happy with the functionality of the OCR (optical character recognition) feature. The product integrates nicely with the Oracle Payables module. The imported invoices can easily be categorized, indexed, etc.
- OCR works very well when scanning invoices.
- Integration with other Oracle products works well.
- Some functionality you would expect to be built-in (such as reporting for compliance) is not and requires other Oracle products to be integrated.
- Separating an invoice with multiple lines for different departments is not an easy task.

- It helps automate our invoice intake process.
- It helps reduce paper invoices.
If you are strictly looking for an imaging solution for scanning, indexing, categorizing, etc., you may have better luck looking at alternate products such as Box. But if you already have a large Oracle footprint as we do, Oracle WebCenter Content integrates nicely with the other applications and makes certain processes almost seamless.
We implemented Oracle Fusion Payables along with WebCenter content. WebCenter has optical character recognition capability which reduces data entry effort by 80%. Accounts payables invoice processing is a paper-intensive process. We have a shared service center which processes about 1500 invoices a day. We were looking for a scalable solution and Oracle Fusion Payables with WebCenter solved the problem.
WebCenter content can extract index and archive the data. As per regulatory requirements, we are supposed to store all AP invoices for 7 years. We were storing them physically in cabinets in the office. With the current real estate boom, we were spending a significant amount on rentals. With WebCenter Content, these invoices can be stored, indexed and archived in the cloud. This frees up space in our office and saves money. Our auditors also loved this as data is organized in a much better way and it can be easily retrieved with a click of the button.
WebCenter content is an enterprise-class content management system which can securely store any type of documents from any source. Further WebCenter content can be integrated with any major ERP in the market.

- Suppliers emailed scanned invoices to WebCenter as opposed to sending invoices via snail mail, which is paper intensive and slow. This alone reduced our Payables processing cycle time.
- WebCenter Content can extract, categorize, index and organize data from invoice images. This reduces 80% of data entry effort. WebCenter Content has optical character recognition capability. It can match the invoice to the purchase order mentioned on the invoice image.
- WebCenter content is tightly integrated with Oracle Payables. The scanned invoices can be accessed from payables on demand. Invoice approvers can view the scanned invoice before approving them.
- Any images in the emails sent by suppliers (supplier logos in the signature) are treated as invoices by WebCenter Content software.
- We have an invoice with 4 lines and each line has its own project manager. Ideally, each invoice line should be sent for approval to respective project managers. However, WebCenter Business Process management was sending all the lines to all project managers.
- The user experience of Oracle WebCenter Content can be drastically improved. It is not up to the mark.

- We were looking for a scalable solution for invoice processing needs. WebCenter did fit the bill. It reduced manual data entry effort by 80%.
- WebCenter saved our storage costs. We do not need to store the physical paper copies anymore in our expensive offices.
- WebCenter increased the employee engagement and reduced monotonous data entry work. Employees now have time to spend on value-added work rather than data entry.
- Auditors were happy with the tool, as they can retrieve any document with the click of a button as opposed to search and find a physical document.
We were looking for an automated invoice processing solution. As we are already on Oracle ERP, it made sense for us to go for Oracle Fusion payables with Oracle WebCenter Content. We have a good relationship with Oracle and Oracle promised us priority support during the time of implementation.

WebCenter for Records Management
Score 4 out of 10
Vetted Review

This was selected as a solution to be used as the platform for a planned enterprise-wide records management system. An important feature was the the ability to manage both existing paper records, as well as current and future electronic records. The optional RMA records management module offered a Records life-cycle management ability that we did not previously possess.
- Offers a stable Content Management environment with native versioning for use as a collaboration environment.
- The optional Inbound Refinery can automatically generate PDF renditions of content files
- Records management module meets all of the basic DoD 5015.2 Records Mgmt standards specifications
- Standard components can perform additional functions was as Image Processsing, water-marking
- The user interface is very dated, and not really very configurable without custom module development. We are waiting to see what the promised improvements in the UI look like, when they are debuted in the upcoming 12C release of WebCenter
- There are really no simple utilities or APIs for transferring content and metadata between WebCenter and any interconnected systems. Any data transfer project -- whether an ad hoc transfer, or an ongoing service -- typically requires some sort of custom Java development
- The basic application is very mature, and pretty much bullet-proof. When odd problems or behaviors arise, the Oracle support engineers have a wide range of support experience with the product. Their knowledge levels can vary from expert to essentially no experience with the product. This can lead to lengthy, frustrating support cases, to solve even minor issues
- Our outfit had created a File Plan for enterprise records. Now, this Records Management installation has given us the tools to implemet the enterprise's information life-cycle rules, and carry out retention policies on the various record series and categories that had been worked out.
I was not present for any product comparisons. We switched from a Documentum system for paper records, which apparently did not have the Records Management capabilities we were looking for in place at that time. Since then, we have looking at other records management solutions; The Alfresco platform looks very attractive, for its more up-to-date interface, and its ease in being customized to meet any aspect of a user's needs.
- None of the functions are easy to use without some amount of user training by an experienced staff.
- The built-in online support system is rudimentary; the help screens are inconsistantly contextual -- and are mostly just repeats from the printed training manuals
- User content entry is not difficult -- but is not intuitive either; all entry requires a fair amount of coaching

Enterprise Content Management with Oracle WebCenter Content
Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
I am an enterprise content management consultant. My company designs and builds implementations of content management solutions for public and private sector organizations who need to manage hundreds of thousands upwards to millions of documents for web and non-web use. Oracle WebCenter Content is built on a robust content and document management repository with fully customizable metadata and that scales extremely well. WebCenter Content provides enterprise-wide content management, not just web content management (though it does that too). The system uses web service APIs to allow third-party as well as other Oracle tools to leverage its capabilities so it is highly adaptable to almost any business need.
- WebCenter Content's biggest strength is its robust content repository
- WebCenter Content provides SOAP and JSON web service APIs for integration with third-party and custom tools
- WebCenter Content has very strong yet flexible access control and security
- WebCenter Content has very powerful, customizable workflows to accommodate any organizational authoring, editing, and approval structure
- WebCenter Content provides excellent tools for development, staging, and production authoring/developing, testing, and publication
- Metadata for content stored and managed in WebCenter Content is fully customizable so custom rules can be created to store, retrieve, and manipulate content individually or in batch.
- WebCenter Content is fast and scales very well for optimal performance.
- Better user experience, especially in SiteStudio, the web development IDE.
- More modern user interface features such as drag-and-drop web page construction
- More modern and visually appealing user interface overall
- A full implementation of WebCenter Content as a managed node in the WebLogic application server to leverage all of WebLogic's capabilities
- Integration of a web experience/campaign management tool for managing online marketing targeting and personalization
- When integrated with a system like Biscom, WebCenter Content makes document capture, retention, and archiving much more efficient and cost-effective.
- When integrated with a system like Siebel CRM, WebCenter Content makes communications with customers/leads more efficient.
- Leveraging the robust content authoring capabilities has helped our web clients reduce the amount of involvement required of IT services during the normal course of web content authoring and management.
I can't really provide an answer for this question because I think the basic premise is flawed. Which system an organization selects is based (or should be based) on their unique business and organizational requirements, not the features of the system. We do not recommend a particular solution to a client based on subjective preference for one system over another but rather for its appropriateness to achieve a particular goal or collection of goals.
