Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) Success Story

SABIC using OpenText ECM Suite to Improve Employee Productivity and Reduce Corporate Risk

Employees can manage electronic documents in a secure, compliant way with an easy-to-use enterprise content management environment

"The key benefits are that we have one ECM system for all users. We can ensure a single version of the truth. We plan to implement records management on top of that so we can ensure compliance when we are audited. We can improve work processes around administration – there is a lot to gain there. We will also reduce the amount of paper we use.”
