Library of Parliament

The Library of Parliament Streamlines Research Services Using OpenText ECM Suite

Library of Parliament logo

Implementing OpenText Content Server and Workflow to manage the creation of research documents from initiation and authoring, through to publishing and delivery. 

We've automated what used to be a manual process to something that is now completely automated. It gives us visibility to every piece of work in the library, every document that's created. It also provides us with metrics, so managers now have insight and can track where everything is. They can easily see bottlenecks and can easily adjust them.
