Clariant Selects Stellent Universal Content Management For Enterprise-Wide Rollout
Stellent system will help Clariant efficiently manage business-critical content, meet strict compliance regulations and reduce costs by eliminating departmental technology solutions
Munich, Germany - Stellent GmbH, the Munich-based subsidiary of Stellent, Inc., a global provider of content management solutions, announced today Clariant, a global leader in the field of specialty chemicals, is implementing Stellent Universal Content Management to support its enterprise-wide content management initiatives.
Clariant's goals for these initiatives are to efficiently manage business-critical content, meet strict compliance regulations and standards, and reduce costs by eliminating local, departmental solutions. Clariant selected Stellent Universal Content Management because of its comprehensive functionality and service-oriented architecture based on open standards.
"It was vitally important to select as the foundation of our 'myDMS' platform a content management solution that could be deployed quickly and efficiently, and was simple enough to be used by all members of our staff without extensive training," said Michael Beckmann, head of non-SAP application development at Clariant. "Stellent Universal Content Management enables the company to meet this goal as it allows business users -- rather than only IT staff -- to create and maintain information using standard desktop tools, and supports the re-use of content and documents across multiple line-of-business applications.
"Stellent's approach to content management best meets our requirements. The technology already has a proven track record of success in various Clariant projects. The experiences gained with the implementation of the first projects -- which included migrating a legacy document management system for regulatory and quality affairs to the Stellent platform -- provide the basis for a global standardization in the areas of knowledge management, document management, content management, electronic records management and archiving."
"Clariant made a strategic decision to implement an enterprise content management (ECM) platform and has now set the stage for this project with its selection of Stellent Universal Content Management," said David Macey, executive vice president of international sales for Stellent. "A Stellent-powered, enterprise-wide document structure and taxonomy, enhanced with a global security model, now serves as the foundation for the implementation of additional business processes and applications at Clariant. Stellent's ECM architecture also allows for fault-tolerant, high-availability configurations enabling Clariant to operate the Stellent system from its own data center, which is another significant success factor for the deployment. We're exceptionally pleased with Clariant's confidence in our products and will work hard to help ensure further successful implementations in the future, so Clariant can reap the substantial return-on-investment they desire as quickly as possible."
