EMC DOCUMENTUM XCP Accelerate the development of custom content-enabled solutions to support case management ESSENTIALS For IT: Accelerate the application lifecycle and decrease deployment complexity Eliminate the need for traditional development Effectively accommodate changes and upgrades to systems, environment and infrastructure Improve the user experience and boost productivity Enhance enterprise applications with content Reduce costs and improve operational efficiency Handle data security and information integrity For the business: Build the foundation for intelligent case management Improve visibility into customers and trends Manage and relate information from many sources Automate the decisionmaking process with flexibility for human insight In an ideal world, creating and developing solutions to meet the requirements of individual business use cases would be fast and easy. Instead of expecting users to make do with one-size-fits-all solutions, or painstakingly building coded custom applications, IT departments could deliver solutions quickly and adapt them as business needs change. Instead of incurring the expense of building, maintaining, integrating and upgrading custom applications, your IT team could cut costs and reduce lengthy development cycles. You could deliver modern applications with elegant, intuitive user interfaces and built-in process steps for individual use cases, capable of pulling together information from a variety of disparate sources and providing a complete audit trail. In fact, that ideal state is a reality today. With EMC Documentum xcp, IT teams can build a wide range of cloud-ready business solutions to support informationintensive, decision-oriented and process-centric requirements. For example: An insurance company must manage and relate information from multiple systems and sources, including Big Data. A complete record of all related content, correspondence and interactions must be maintained for audit or regulatory purposes, with full visibility into customer activity and the ability to monitor trends. A commercial bank must automate and improve decision-making processes for customer service, such as whether to approve or reject an application for a product or service a loan, a line of credit and so on. Measurements such as key performance indicators are required for continuous process improvement. A healthcare provider must automate manual, repetitive or exception-based processes, yet allow for human insight. Work queues must be established across a set of information workers with a variety of skills to ensure that work can be delegated or escalated to other individuals as appropriate. EMC Documentum xcp offers an entirely new approach to these and similar scenarios. In short, xcp is a flexible development platform designed to help IT teams quickly and cost-effectively compose modern applications to expose and exploit the full value of the organization s information deploying content-enabled solutions on top of the Documentum platform. xcp accelerates the application lifecycle, decreases deployment complexity and effectively accommodates changes and upgrades to systems, environment and infrastructure, while enabling design of personalized user interfaces. The result is a new level of flexibility for IT in meeting the needs of the enterprise for streamlined processes, productivity improvements and better business outcomes.
CENTRALIZING RELATED INFORMATION IN AN ACCESSIBLE CASE FOLDER AT A GLANCE: DOCUMENTUM Eaton Vance is one of the oldest and best-known investment management firms in the United States. IT analysts recognized that manual processes for capturing and accessing new-account paperwork were resource-intensive, inefficient and error-prone, and made it difficult to meet regulatory obligations. Without a good tracking system for the paperwork, it was easy to miss transactions a costly oversight. By adopting an automated capture, management and workflow solution based on EMC Documentum, Documentum xcp and Captiva, the company has achieved significant efficiencies for both end users and managers and increased the number of newaccount openings by 24%. Today, most knowledge workers managing a transaction must search through multiple sources to gather the right content. They expect that the file contains all the right evidentiary documentation to support decision-making as well as compliance which, in fact, it may or may not. xcp streamlines this manual, error-prone process with a mechanism in place to assure completeness of documentation. Rather than a workflow-driven process, the case management approach supported by xcp recognizes the interdependent relationships between data, content, people, systems and policies. xcp employs an enhanced data model and integrated content analytics that help identify, collect and manage related information and interactions in the right context. This information is stored in a common location: a case folder. The case folder maintains a complete record of any content that was added, viewed or changed, including any interactions that took place between people, decisions that were made, and processes and policies that were applied. This virtual folder enables all users involved to collaborate on a particular case. With a holistic view of cases centered around a specific transaction, users have a complete view of relevant information and access to related deliverables. They can create, locate, view, revise and manage any type or format of content including video, images, forms, documents, e-mail, records and correspondence using full-text search and faceted navigation to find what they need quickly. There is no longer any need to search through disparate systems; related data is centralized, and case folders are generated dynamically that store, manage and route a complete record of related items, readily and easily available. Creating an end-to-end audit trail is simple.
AT A GLANCE: DOCUMENTUM Halkbank, one of Turkey s most successful full-service banking institutions, recognized that its legacy document management system was impeding its ambitious growth plans. Unreliable performance and lost documents were no longer acceptable, and inefficiencies undermined customer service. In just three days, Halkbank deployed and migrated assets to centralized Documentum repositories. Using Document xcp, workflow efficiencies improved 150%, with the staff scanning over 200% more documents per day. Today, over 25,000 individual Halkbank workflows are managed daily by Documentum xcp and Captiva. And the user experience is role-based and contextual, presenting a personalized view of information. With built-in content and process analytics, xcp supports comprehensive reporting, enabling the user to view dashboards, charts and dynamic reports associated with roles. This way, users receive access to the relevant information required to support their decision-making. They can improve their visibility into customers, for example, and set up their own key performance indicators to monitor specific trends. AUTOMATING DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES Every enterprise has some policy or procedure in place for managing approvals, whether formal and structured or informal and ad hoc. Controls are often bypassed, however, as people step outside established processes in the interests of time or expediency. Regulated industries as well as policy-driven enterprises, on the other hand, must follow set processes and standard operating procedures without deviation. Yet they require flexibility for exceptions and situations where expert review and approval is in order. xcp automates management of controlled documents and workflows while eliminating time-consuming manual steps, supporting compliance and validation of rules-based processes. The workflow presents a complete set of information for each step, with the proper controls in place, to support consistent, sound decision-making. All documentation involved during and after the approvals process is managed and then archived in a secure repository for complete records and efficient auditing. LEVERAGING REUSABLE CONTENT AND MODELS Let s take a look at how xcp works. xcp is built on the EMC Documentum platform, leveraging its core content management capabilities: content import and export, metadata, versioning renditions, security and library services. The Documentum platform accepts and indexes all content types, paper or electronic, and can access information from any business system. All user interfaces and process models created with xcp are reusable, because they are stored and versioned in the Documentum platform. Integrated composition tools enable the rapid design of solutions that leverage business processes, information models, reports and multiple data sources including big data. xcp is integrated with EMC Captiva, which intelligently captures documents and data and transforms it into usable electronic format for indexing and proper queuing. It also integrates with EMC Document Sciences xpression for document creation and distribution. xpression is a single platform supporting brandcompliant corporate communications that can be generated to the customer s preference, then stored and archived.
xcp is broadly used by companies to build in-house solutions, by the EMC Enterprise Content Division to create use-case-specific applications, and by EMC partners to create solutions for their customers. AT A GLANCE: DOCUMENTUM Tata Power, India s largest integrated power company, lacked control over core business activities that relied on unstructured data. Manual workflow processes resulted in lack of visibility into non-transaction-based activities, hindering critical decision-making. Via Documentum xcp and Captiva, Tata Power can now extract value from unstructured data while automating complex informationintensive processes. The company reduced workflow cycle times by 40%, and has gained access to realtime monitoring and analytics to drive informed business decisions. Automating and integrating processes enables the organization to work effectively as a single entity that shares information. OFFERING SPECIALIZED FEATURES FOR DEVELOPERS The xcp Designer contains a full library of prebuilt UI widgets, business-process activity templates and data services. Use of data services reduces the cost of coding and maintaining connections with internal systems by leveraging standardsbased messaging within a business process. This enables the exchange of data and triggering actions in other business systems of record, such as customer relationship management, ERP, supply chain management and databases at runtime. Virtually all HTML-based business systems are supported, and no changes are required to the infrastructure of the calling application. Integration can be configured quickly by a fairly junior consultant. Through an active xcp development community, your team can access prebuilt software accelerators, sample applications, libraries, utilities and design patterns that incorporate best practices, accelerating time to value. Deploying xcp involves a single installation of a single extremely lightweight browser component. Nothing needs to change on the user s desktop to enable additional use cases. CONTENT-ENABLING EXISTING APPLICATIONS WITH XIS xis, a standard component of xcp (no additional license required), represents a new wave of systems integration. xis enables delivery of rich, contextual content at the click of a button without customization essentially, documents on demand without the need for costly integration software.
xis is a small browser add-in that scrapes HTML and passes it to xcp. A lightweight Web service tells the add-in what to scrape and what xcp page to call, based on the URL from which xis is called. The add-in provides rapid insight from the source applications. For the user, xis is invisible; the user clicks on a browser button while looking at an enterprise application a CRM solution, for example. Context is passed from the screen to the xcp application, with the key data already filled in. From an IT perspective, xis is in use without any change to the enterprise application, as context is scraped from the underlying application s HTML. HTML is parsed and processed to deliver the context-appropriate xcp functionality. (xis does not include the browser component, since that depends on how your company chooses to implement it in its current infrastructure.) EVOLVING TO INTELLIGENT CASE MANAGEMENT Traditionally used in social services, healthcare, banking, insurance and legal environments, case management is a pattern of work that is rapidly expanding into many other industries. Organizations are recognizing that a case management approach can make information easily accessible, up-to-date, quickly tracked and more manageable in the context of business processes.
