City of London picks Open Text for content management

Corporation looking to digitise and archive all documents

The City of London Corporation has chosen a records management and archiving solution from content management vendor Open Text after a two-year tendering process.

Open Text said that the Corporation's current solution had contributed to staff inefficiency and did not allow for a corporate-wide approach to records management.

The 800 year-old Corporation therefore looked for a technology solution which could digitise and archive all of its documents, enabling easy access and sharing of information among employees.

"We chose Open Text Livelink ECM because it was the most user friendly," said Roger Marshall, IS director at City of London Corporation.

"We see Open Text as the answer to helping us meet a common corporate standard in line with the government's National Best Practice Scheme and eventually leading to a single source of truth, eliminating the duplication of both electronic and physical files."

The Corporation will implement the Open Text product this month.
