OpenText Success Story with South African Distell
December 2, 2014
The article titled Distell Supports Business Growth Through Improved Information Management on OpenText tells the story of the booming business Distell, a South African beverage producer. Since opening in 2000, the company has grown quickly, and the speed of the growth resulted in unstructured data being stored in unconnected silos. Needless to say this was detrimental to the company’s efficiency. The article explains,
“Today, there are over 13 million information assets in the Distell Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform or repository; with tens of thousands of items being added weekly. Helping make sense of this wealth of corporate intellectual property are OpenText ECM solutions, from archiving to document management and secure file sharing in the cloud. This collaborative, searchable, secure repository enables marketing, sales, operations, production and service functions in one continent to access information from peers across the globe.”
The article seems to convey an OpenText success story, with improved collaboration and efficiency throughout Distell. The company boasts around 30 new employees a month, and ECM’s largest benefit is considered productivity and continuity of services. No word on how this implementation cost, but you can almost hear an OpenText representative asking, “can you put a price on empowering your employees?”
