Food-Processing Giant Delivers Extensible Solution, Cuts Maintenance Costs Two-Thirds

"By replacing a Documentum environment with one based on SharePoint, we are reducing those maintenance costs by two-thirds." - Rebecca Wilson, Project Leader, Productivity Management Group, Tyson Foods
SUMMARY

Tyson Foods, one of the world's leading producers of protein products, needed a more extensible solution for scanning, storing, and providing access to thousands of document images. A solution based on EMC2 Documentum Platform and installed in 2006 was difficult to customize or extend to new user groups and costly to maintain. IT executives, who were already familiar with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 as a collaboration platform, decided to move the Documentum-based image-management solution to Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise while upgrading their collaboration solution to that same platform. Now, employees have far greater access to image management, new development is done in just one-quarter of the time, and maintenance costs have been reduced by two-thirds.
