If you’ve ever wondered how big companies keep track of all their documents, data, and files—especially when they have tons of employees all over the world—here’s your answer: OpenText™ Documentum™ Content Management (CM). It is a cloud-ready document management software solution built to grow with your business and handle large amounts of work without slowing down.

Built to grow with you

Think of your business as a busy restaurant. On a normal day, you serve a few customers, but on a crazy night, everyone’s ordering at once. OpenText Documentum CM is like a kitchen that grows and speeds up to handle all those orders without any trouble.

Here’s how it does it:

Smart scaling that keeps up 

OpenText Documentum CM adjusts automatically to give you the right amount of computing power, storage, or network speed. Whether you have 100 or 100,000 users, it works with cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft® Azure, and Google Cloud to keep things running smoothly. 

Containers keep things moving 

OpenText Documentum CM uses tools like Docker containers and Kubernetes, which help it update and grow without shutting down, while simultaneously keeping everything secure. That means no annoying interruptions when your business is working hard! 

Serverless computing to save money 

Serverless computing is like hiring a cook who only works when there’s food to make. OpenText Documentum CM can run on serverless setups (like AWS Lambda), using resources only when needed. This saves energy and money, keeping things efficient, even with lots of users. 

Multiple repositories for strategic control 

Need to keep different teams or regions separate? No problem. You can create as many as you need in one system (think of them as separate filing cabinets for different teams or projects with special rules) in one system. It keeps your content organized and secure, no matter how much data you’re dealing with. 

Load balancing for busy days 

What happens when hundreds (or thousands!) of people log in at once? No slowdowns. OpenText Documentum CM spreads the work out evenly using load balancing, so everything stays fast and reliable. It’s like opening extra checkout lines at a busy store—everyone gets served faster, and the system stays reliable. 

Global access with local rules 

If your team is spread across the world, OpenText Documentum CM has you covered. OpenText’s global cloud uses data centers in different countries to give everyone fast access. It also follows local data laws (like GDPR in Europe) to keep things safe and legal, which is a big deal for global businesses. 

Always tuned for speed 

Behind the scenes, OpenText experts are constantly monitoring the system to keep it running at its best. They tweak, tune, and optimize everything so your team doesn’t have to worry about slowdowns. 

The bottom line

OpenText Documentum CM is built to handle big jobs in the cloud. It grows easily, stays organized, and keeps things fast and secure, no matter how much your business grows. With OpenText’s global cloud support, it’s ready to manage millions of documents or users across the world and is a reliable choice for any business with big data needs. 

So yes—OpenText Documentum CM isn’t just ready for big jobs, it thrives on them.
