Upgrade and Optimize OpenText Solutions for Success in 2026

by The fme Team | Oct 23, 2025 | Migration Services, OpenText

OpenText has been a cornerstone of content management platforms for Life Sciences, Finance, Manufacturing, Automotive, Retail, Insurance and more for decades, delivering unrivaled stability and capability in the most demanding, business critical environments. As we head into 2026, they continue to push the industry forward, upgrading proven core technology and integrating advanced AI-driven capabilities.

To ensure you get the full benefits of your OpenText investment, there are several key areas to consider for both short- and long-term initiatives. Here are a few of the most important.

OpenText Product Lifecycles

The heyday of isolated, on-premises software applications installed on local servers is long gone, evolving into today’s cloud-based, integrated, and always advancing solutions. For better or worse, those improvements can happen fast. Any upgrade can include valuable improvements as well as critical changes that can impact your team and business workflows. Keeping up with changes in capabilities and their deeper impacts has become a continual frustration for IT departments maintaining multiple systems and integrations across complex business environments.

It’s essential to understand which versions are active and vendor-supported to avoid additional maintenance costs and unintentionally paying extra to support obstacles to future innovation. fme keeps close tabs on OpenText’s product lifecycle matrix and works with our clients informed of the critical dates for their individual technology stack.

We also have advanced TechOps Support Services for cost-effective release and application change management, and day-to-day application support if required.

Optimize OpenText Solutions for Your Business

As with any technology, it’s vital that your platforms support your unique business needs and goals. Over our 25 years, we’ve served as our clients’ technology partner, providing an objective perspective to help maximize their technology ROI and minimize their total cost of ownership, balancing costs, capabilities, and business priorities. Learn more in this post where we compare both the benefits and challenges of OpenText solutions, and outline a variety of strategies that provide quick-win and foundational improvements. We can provide a clear roadmap that can both reduce costs and increase efficiency within teams and across departments.

Ensuring System-wide AI Readiness

We are in the middle of a dramatic change in human-software interaction, and the technology hype-cycle is giving way to the real possibilities and applications of AI technology. Regardless of what system or platform you choose, it’s essential that the data and documents fueling your AI platform are organized and ready for ingestion and analysis.

To quote our CEO Dirk Bode, “All the AI in the world won’t help if your data’s a mess. You’ve got to have a solid foundation.”

fme’s history of content management and platform services gives us an unparallelled understanding of the best practices required to prepare structured and unstructured data for AI solutions.

How to Master Merger & Acquisition Data Integration

by David Gwyn | Aug 28, 2025 | Business Consulting, Digital Transformation, Life Sciences, Migration Services

fme supports some of the world’s most ambitious acquisition strategies, often under tight timelines, with minimal visibility into the acquired company’s systems, and urgent demands to “make it all work” from day one.

The reality? Most M&A activities start in a rush and stay there. IT and business teams are expected to absorb new entities, migrate content, manage compliance, and sunset legacy platforms, all while trying to maintain continuity and meet regulatory obligations. And they’re expected to do it repeatedly.

Why TransferAssist?

M&A success depends on how quickly and reliably you can bring newly acquired teams, systems, and data into your enterprise technology stack, or, in the case of divestitures, cleanly separate and transfer it. Delays, inconsistencies, or missteps can cost millions in regulatory risk, operational drag, or lost productivity.

fme created TransferAssist to eliminate the friction that typically slows down acquisition and divestiture integration. It delivers a scalable, automation-powered framework that empowers organizations to migrate, separate, or integrate data with speed, confidence, and compliance. Whether you’re evaluating a deal, in the thick of integration, or planning a strategic carve-out, TransferAssist meets you where you are: simplifying, accelerating, and standardizing every step of the process.

The Four-Phase TransferAssist Approach

Whether you’re acquiring three companies a year or ten, TransferAssist helps you shift from project-based chaos to programmatic control. Here’s how:

Phase 1: Foundation & Readiness

This phase establishes your strategic backbone for repeatable M&A success.

Build a unified, extensible data model and pipeline to receive and integrate new information.
Define archiving, retention, and migration rules to ensure consistency and compliance.
Run fme-driven, independent pre-deal assessments to identify data risks and gaps before legal close.
Leverage standard governance models and prebuilt templates for accelerated onboarding.

★ The bonus? Even before the acquisition is finalized, TransferAssist allows you to evaluate the technical landscape of a target company without exposing sensitive data or compromising confidentiality.

Phase 2: Execution & Automation

Now it’s time to move fast, without sacrificing quality.

Deploy pre-validated migration playbooks and accelerators to reduce setup time.
Enable 24/5 global execution coverage via fme teams in North America, Romania, and India.
Automate classification and verification with AI-powered workflows.
Monitor and iterate using built-in feedback loops and structured improvement cycles.

★ The result? Faster, more predictable migrations with fewer human errors and more visibility.

Phase 3: User Enablement & Business Continuity

Technology is only half the battle, people and processes matter too.

Align go-live plans with training and change management strategies.
Partner with your system integrator to onboard users to the right platforms.
Reduce dual-system overhead and accelerate decommissioning of legacy tools.
Measure ROI with KPIs like time-to-productivity, user adoption, and operational savings.

★ Key insight? Happy, empowered users are the fastest path to post-acquisition value.

Phase 4: Optimization & Scalability

Turn repeatability into strategic advantage.

Transition to a frictionless integration model for future acquisitions.
Reduce burden on internal IT and business teams.
Drive continuous improvement with a closed-loop optimization model.
Seamlessly scale the framework for both large and small acquisition targets.

★ The payoff? You’re not just executing integrations, you’re building a resilient, acquisition-ready enterprise.

Ready to Future-Proof Your Merger & Acquisition Strategy?

If your organization’s growth strategy hinges on acquisitions or divestitures, it’s time to stop improvising. With TransferAssist, fme offers a future-proof, plug-and-play framework to manage the data and content complexities of any M&A&D initiative, before, during, and long after the deal closes.

Whether you’re navigating your first large-scale divestiture or streamlining your tenth acquisition of the year, TransferAssist ensures every transition adds value, not risk.

See You in Madrid: Let’s Talk Transformation at Veeva Summit

by Meghan Carr | May 8, 2025 | Business Consulting, Digital Transformation, Life Sciences, Migration Services, Veeva

Accelerating Your Veeva Journey

As life sciences organizations prepare to attend the Veeva R&D and Quality Summit in Madrid, one key theme continues to emerge: How can we fully harness the power of Veeva to support digital transformation and long-term growth?

Throughout Summit, industry leaders will explore how to plan, integrate, and sustain the Veeva platform within modern digital ecosystems. With its unified suite of applications, Veeva is the strategic hub for regulated content and data, designed to improve collaboration, compliance, and speed to market. But, the true value of the Veeva ecosystem is only realized when the data it holds is accurate, complete, and usable.

Data Integrity as the Cornerstone of Transformation
Whether you’re implementing a single Veeva application or expanding across the full suite, your ability to unlock Veeva’s value is directly tied to the quality and integrity of the data that feeds it. That means your migration must be more than just technically correct: it must be strategically aligned, intelligently designed, and executed with deep awareness of the life sciences regulatory environment.

The reality? Migrating from legacy systems is a complex, high-stakes endeavor. From fragmented repositories and inconsistent metadata to GxP compliance and validation requirements, every project comes with its own risks. Your long-term success on the Veeva platform depends on how those challenges are handled from the start.

Maximize the ROI of Your OpenText Documentum Investments

by The fme Team | Apr 8, 2025 | Documentum, Migration Services, OpenText, xECM

For years, OpenText’s Documentum has been gold standard for content management in the most complex industries like Life Sciences, Finance, Energy and more. Their newest solutions and AI-driven capabilities continue to push the industry forward, providing an ever-expanding catalog of tools that are proven successful in the most demanding environments. This legacy of success is a benefit to long-time OpenText customers, but it also comes with challenges.

Here are a few of comments we hear from our OpenText clients:

Benefits

Challenges

OpenText provides established and stable technology that reliably delivers our content management needs.

Groundbreaking at the time, the most stable and effective solutions were designed for requirements and accessibility demands in a very different global technology landscape.

Our workflows and processes have been developed, tested, and proven to serve our business requirements.

As technology and user expectations evolved, legacy solutions often fall behind in ease of use and user experience.

OpenText has a full suite of products to serve the varied requirements of the departments within our business.

More clients are taking a best-of-breed approach, and struggle to integrate new best-in-class solutions with legacy systems.

OpenText professional services have in-depth knowledge of their solutions and provide support as we need it.

Integrated systems require knowledge of all sides of a technical integration; we need experts with experience connecting solutions from multiple vendors.

Our OpenText solutions do exactly what we need them to do, and those needs have not changed.

Evolving software can deprecate critical functionality, requiring complex analysis and re-work to align with upgrades. Maintenance fees for legacy solutions keeps increasing while in other places completely disappearing as older versions are being sunsetted.

OpenText continues to release new products that both compliment what we have and also bring value to new areas.

New products and their associated pricing tiers can require new license structures that increase costs.

Our internal IT and Operations support team is fully versed in every aspect of our OpenText environment and can quickly address any issues.

Skilled IT and Operations staff are in high demand. It can be difficult to maintain a knowledgeable team as they progress in their individual careers and expand their skills with newer solutions.

All of our data requirements – file formats, data structures, metadata structures, directory structures – have been used, verified and validated. We know where everything should be.

Through mergers and acquisitions, workflow changes, new business opportunities and more, we have several repositories of data that don’t quite match existing structures. Some data is isolated in disconnected silos.

All the data, documents and metadata we have ever created in the 20 years of our firm is stored and accessible.

Costs of storing and maintaining unused legacy data can quickly cost more than its inherent value, and bog down queries and processes that only need current information.

OpenText has announced many new AI features that we plan to get the most advantage from in the next few years.

Initial analysis shows that our data and content isn’t in the optimal format to empower AI capabilities, and if not fixed, could expose us to substantial risks.

How fme Maximizes the ROI of OpenText Investments

fme has served OpenText clients around the globe for 25 years, and we understand the challenges of building and maintaining a complex and highly regulated content management environment. There are a wide range of considerations that must be continually balanced: license costs, maintenance requirements, support teams, integrations, functionality, evolving regulatory requirements, shifting business goals and more. We pride ourselves on delivering comprehensive solutions that accomplish our client’s unique business goals, and helping them minimize their total cost of ownership (TCO) while maximizing their return on their software investment (ROI).

With each client, we collaborate through our proven analysis and delivery methodologies to provide the most effective combination of services:

Streamlining and Optimization – Workflows and processes evolve over time as businesses grow and requirements change. Aligning legacy systems with current workflows can save substantial time and money.
Data Classification and Re-Integration – Data is stagnant, but business and processes evolve constantly, causing disconnects between what was stored then and how it’s stored now. Mergers, acquisitions and divestitures can introduce additional data with different formats. We can classify and verify all your data, update necessary fields and metadata, and re-integrate information that was lost in disconnected silos.
Storage and Maintenance – As solutions move to cloud services, data storage is once again becoming an expensive challenge. fme can help you analyze and evaluate your data, identify what needs to be actively available and what can be moved to lower cost options, and archive information that is rarely needed.
Upgrades and Application Support – Upgrades can provide new features and capabilities, but they can also break (and even reveal) existing customizations that are critical to business workflows. fme’s experts can help you determine the benefits and conflicts in an upgrade package, and determine the most effective way to upgrade with the least effort and disruption.
Migration to Newest Solutions – No software will last forever, and there will be times the most cost-effective approach is to move to the newest platform. Whether staying within the OpenText family or moving in a new direction entirely, fme can help determine the best path forward that aligns with your technology needs, timeline, and budget.

Simplify Your Migration to Generis CARA

by The fme Team | Feb 17, 2025 | Generis, Migration Services

Recently, we’ve been helping several leading life sciences clients understand the details, requirements and powerful possibilities of a migration to Generis CARA. If you are unfamiliar, we highly recommend taking the time to learn about the platform to compare your current challenges against CARA’s capabilities. Here’s a quick overview to get you started. Download our Generis datasheet for additional details and to request to meet with fme’s Generis CARA experts.

About Generis CARA

First off, the CARA Platform from Generis is a versatile, low-code foundational content and data management platform designed to solve the complex needs of industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotech, medical devices, and other highly regulated sectors. Regular updates and an experienced eye on the future of content management allow the CARA Platform to deliver a comprehensive, scalable solution equally suited to storing content and contentless objects, providing configurable flexibility to be used for almost any industry.

For life science firms, there is the CARA Life Sciences Platform: an interconnected suite of applications specifically designed to address the challenges of companies with interconnected Regulatory, Quality, Safety, and Clinical processes. It is an easily configured and pre-validated apps platform leveraging distinct modules that simplify and streamline system administration tasks. Generis CARA provides the connectivity, visibility, consistency and capability to reduce re-work and wasted effort and take control of business processes.

Generis CARA provides:

Powerful Architecture: The CARA Platform is back-ended by ElasticSearch, a non-relational database designed to flexibly handle millions of events per second and petabytes of data.
Flexible Configuration: The CARA Platform boasts an in-browser configuration interface with a broad menu of capabilities as well as direct scripting for advanced requirements. Implementation teams are able to script, test, and publish custom actions and other scripted activities without accessing a server or setting up an integration. This supports a seamless user experience with substantially less downtime for updates.
Built in AI Features: Generis built CARA with substantial AI capabilities available out-of-the-box including practical use cases deliver tangible ROI and significantly reduce the time to search for, manipulate and create content.
Shared Administration Ownership: To maximize user adoption and useability, core admins can manage type definitions and other configuration items with the potential for broad impact, while exposing a limited scope of configuration to allow business leads, junior admins, or expert users to make changes to dictionary drop down lists, update dashboards, reports, and workflow templates. Used effectively, this capability can alleviate day-to-day administrative activities for core admin teams, freeing resources to work on priority projects and initiatives.
Exceptional User Experience: The end user experience is often the greatest consideration when selecting a platform and the CARA Platform provides a well-planned, incredibly responsive user experience. Users will be able to quickly adopt the CARA Platform and configure it to their own requirements.

Challenges of Migration to Generis CARA

While the power and flexibility of the Generis CARA Platform is clear, there is an important point to remember. In fact, this isn’t just a quirk of CARA, it is the same for any solution: all capabilities and functionality heavily depend on the organization of the data, metadata and documents it contains. A great system with redundant, obsolete and / or trivial data won’t deliver the useability, compliance requirements or ROI that a business needs to achieve its goals. Unfortunately, many companies fail to effectively prepare their data for the final migration to their target platform, mostly because they are simply unaware of the state of their data.

Here are a few of the ‘short cuts’ we’ve been called to correct:

Assuming 1-to-1 Transfers: This is a far too common mistake. Moving data from a legacy solution to a new, modern platform will never be a 1-to-1 transfer. The way software developers store and even think about data changes continuously. New structures, formats, and metadata requirements evolve to be more efficient and compatible with new systems and coding languages. Think about it: If a data structure hasn’t changed, there’s a high probability the platform isn’t evolving to meet the needs of today’s businesses. Tread carefully when there is an assumption that your migration experience will be easy and a simple “like-for-like” – unless you’re taking a digital solution that has the exact configuration as your legacy system, this will never work. Trust us.
Vendor Professional Services: This sounds like a criticism but it’s simply a business reality. Vendor professional services understand their own system, but have little experience in the structures of the many different source repositories. They’ve focused their time on building a forward-looking solution to solve challenges of today and be ready for the future. They don’t have time to train on, or more importantly, have true hands on experience with, the details of every possible legacy system or the always-present customizations and workarounds made over the years. Likewise, we have seen far too often our clients being handed a mapping specification by vendors and told to fill it out. Good luck! You are going to need it without industry and migration expertise on board.
AI and ‘Automated’ Tools: Emerging AI-based data analysis tools promise a lot, and some are more accurate than others, but they aren’t prepared for the intricacies of regulated data, compliance regulations and requirements, or improperly stored and classified data. The consequences of failure are high, and AI-based tools without detailed human review haven’t proven they can accomplish the tasks required without adding substantial risks.
Relying on Internal Resources: We have worked with amazing teams, but even the most skilled internal resources rarely have the required time to focus on a full migration effort. It is also rare for them to have the depth of knowledge required within both their existing system and the newly updated CARA platform. Many times, we’ve seen deadlines extend far beyond initial plans as skilled internal resources are shifted to other priorities and data preparation receives less focus. This inevitably causes sacrifices and short cuts, increasing risks of errors and detrimental business consequences. In some cases, we are called in after the fact to support massive remediation efforts due to the rush job of simply shoving data in to meet a deadline.

fme Simplifies Migration to Generis CARA

The bottom line is, an accurate, organized data migration is essential for the success of any digital transformation initiative. This is our focus. fme has become the industry leader in successfully executing the complex migrations that allow industry leading firms take advantage of the most powerful new solutions. In fact, after over 20 years of migrating data from all leading platforms, we are experts at extracting, transforming, and importing legacy data effortlessly from any source system, including databases, file shares, cloud platforms, and legacy applications.

As a certified Generis partner, we understand the requirements, functionality and configuration options of the CARA Platform.

Listen to the Podcast

Frank was honored to be invited to sit down to discuss the trends and challenges of modernizing large RIM, Quality and Clinical systems, and how to plan an efficient, accurate and compliant data migration. From our experience with clients from small pharmaceuticals up to the Top 20 firms, many start a modernization or transformation initiative without a clear understanding of the quality and state of their existing data and documents. This is a critical phase of any migration that should not be skipped or minimized. Done correctly, it can have a powerful influence on the success of the transformation initiative by revealing the level of data remediation required, how much can be automated, and how much requires human involvement.

We highly recommend you take the time to listen to Frank and Steve’s discussion. They cover:

fme’s history, reputation and focus
Importance of data remediation in a migration initiative
Value of a ‘Phase 0’ focused on evaluating existing data and documents
Proven and evolving automation tools like AI
Industry trends and challenges
fme’s future vision

The Bottom Line on Data Migrations and Digital Transformations

The bottom line is today’s advanced digital tools – traditional, AI-powered, or otherwise – all depend on organized, accessible and compliant data. After almost 30 years of experience, fme understands how to apply our proven methodologies and migration tools with evolving AI and NLM capabilities for successful migrations, ensuring our clients get the most ROI from their technology investment. Regardless of source and target systems, fme’s experts know the most effective ways to clearly define the system’s current state and help client’s plan an efficient path into the future.
