As organizations try to control the explosion of business content, it becomes more difficult for people to find and use relevant content when and where they need it. The information business content contains should be at the center of every process, but often it remains disconnected. To reach peak performance, organizations must find new ways to tackle this challenge.

This is also true for global enterprises with significant real estate or property assets, as well as organizations that focus on those areas as their main business. They are looking for quick-to-deploy content management solutions that help solve contract and document process issues.

Modern Real Estate information management challenges include:

  • Disconnected information in personal workstations, file shares, email, paper archives
  • Dependency on individual contributors to access essential contracts and obligations-related business information
  • Delays and poor customer satisfaction caused by broken information flows and disconnected processes
  • Critical and sensitive documents require more governance and security to ensure content is protected and in compliance to reduce business and legal risks
  • Better manage documents with time-sensitive due dates. (e.g., Contracts that run out, need to be renegotiated, extended, or canceled that may carry fees or penalties for the business)

Specifically designed for the real estate market, and now available as a turnkey content solution with CE 22.4, the new OpenText™ Extended ECM Real Estate Management Business Scenario enables simplified processes and tools for building a complete and connected real estate file and allows customers to deploy quickly.

This tailored solution controls and accelerates content intense processes for contract management and other related workflows for property asset operations such as lease contracts, renewals, terminations, contracting jobs, etc., as well as providing valuable insights through document status reporting.

It is also specially designed to work with Extended ECM SAP S/4HANA integrations for enhanced business processes functionality, improving experiences and boosting collaboration across the business, and between SAP and non-SAP users.  

Organizations can manage all mission-critical documents and information about a property, building, rental objects, or real estate contracts together in one complete view. This solution also includes workflows for creating, negotiating and executing contracts, reporting on financial information regarding rental assets, objects, current contracts, or contracts that are due.
