Organizations across life sciences and other regulated industries continue to rely on OpenText technologies such as Documentum™, Extended ECM™, and OpenText™ Information Archive to manage highly regulated content, support critical business processes, and maintain compliance across quality, regulatory, clinical, and manufacturing operations. As these environments evolve, IT and Operations leaders need to balance the benefits of long-standing, proven platforms with new opportunities to modernize repositories, improve data quality, strengthen governance, and integrate AI-driven initiatives.

Each year, industry leaders gather at OpenText World to explore the latest innovations, emerging technologies, and proven strategies for maximizing the value of their OpenText investments. As an OpenText partner for more than 25 years, fme looks forward to attending OpenText World 2026 and leading the discussions about how organizations can modernize and optimize their content ecosystems while maintaining compliance and business continuity.

One question continues to surface in conversations with OpenText customers:

“How do we prepare our content repositories for AI solutions while we maximize the long-term investments in our OpenText environment?”

The answer takes more than new technology. Whether organizations are upgrading existing platforms, consolidating repositories, integrating newly acquired content, implementing governance initiatives, preparing for AI adoption, or planning future migrations, success depends on understanding the current content landscape and ensuring that data and metadata are accurate, consistent, and governed.

Data Readiness and Governance Remain Critical

Organizations that generate the greatest return from their OpenText investments recognize that content management is an ongoing business initiative, not simply a technology decision. The effectiveness of workflows, reporting, AI initiatives, compliance programs, and future modernization efforts depends on the quality and accessibility of the information stored within the platform.

Establishing strong governance, maintaining reliable metadata, and continuously assessing content quality creates the foundation for successful digital transformation. fme has proven methodologies and tools to help organizations:

    • Develop consistent governance frameworks
    • Analyze and improve data and metadata quality
    • Establish continual processes to maintain AI-alignment
    • Align technology investments with business requirements

Each of these is critical for long-term platform success, and fme is the only OpenText partner with the proven experience and capability to deliver for complex, highly regulated industries.

fme Delivers More Than Migration

OpenText environments often contain years, or even decades, of accumulated content, customized workflows, complex integrations, and evolving business requirements. As organizations evaluate their AI-readiness during modernization initiatives, they frequently face challenges related to content quality, disconnected repositories, user adoption, regulatory requirements, and storage costs.

fme’s approach extends beyond any single project. We support organizations across the entire transformation lifecycle, helping them:

    • Assess and optimize existing OpenText environments
    • Improve data governance and data quality
    • Prepare repositories to drive AI-powered capabilities
    • Consolidate and classify content across multiple systems
    • Upgrade and modernize existing platforms
    • Select new solutions and migrate content when required
    • Support ongoing operations through managed services and optimization programs

This end-to-end approach helps organizations reduce risk while maximizing return on their technology investments.

Proven Expertise + Proven Methodology = Better Business Outcomes

fme has spent more than 25 years helping life sciences organizations manage, migrate, optimize, and modernize highly regulated content environments. Our approach spans three interconnected phases:

Strategize & Evaluate – assessing technology options, data readiness, governance requirements, and modernization opportunities.

Migrate & Transform – applying proven methodologies, automation, validation processes, and migration accelerators to support compliant digital transformation initiatives.

Stabilize & Optimize – providing ongoing support, release management, archiving services, health assessments, and optimization programs that maximize platform value over time.

To support these initiatives at enterprise scale, fme combines consulting expertise with proven frameworks and technology accelerators that help organizations improve content quality, reduce risk, and increase operational efficiency. Here are a few examples:

AI-powered Intelligent Classification & Enrichment – fme helps organizations analyze, classify, and enrich content using AI- and NLP-powered capabilities that derive metadata from documents, file structures, and existing repositories. This approach helps make content more searchable, usable, and ready for future initiatives, including advanced analytics and AI-driven programs.

migration-center® – fme’s migration-center platform supports assessment, migration, and verification activities through proven automation and validation capabilities. With more than 250 source-to-target migration paths available, migration-center helps organizations move content accurately while maintaining quality, traceability, and compliance. The platform includes capabilities for data assessment, migration execution, and verification to support complex enterprise transformation programs.

migration-center Verify™ – Our verification solution systematically compares migrated data against the source system, identifying inconsistencies in metadata and content integrity. This helps teams detect issues and avoid costly rework or compliance risks.
