Metinvest Holding, a global steel and mining company, was facing challenges with its enterprise content management. The company needed to streamline its processes and chose OpenText Extended ECM, an SAP-endorsed solution, as its enterprise content management platform. However, implementing this solution and integrating it into the SAP environment was a complex task. The company's IT arm, Metinvest Digital, partnered with an independent OpenText integrator, N-iX, to help with the implementation. The main challenges included performing a comprehensive system audit, redesigning the tech infrastructure and solution architecture, analyzing and refactoring the source code, migrating users from the old system to the new one, and training users on how to effectively use the system.
N-iX approached the challenge by first conducting a performance audit of the system, which involved a comprehensive analysis from both technical and business perspectives. Following the audit, the team worked on improving the technical infrastructure, creating a cluster of 8 servers for Development and QA landscapes, increasing the total number of servers from 3 to 17. The system was then upgraded to the latest version of OpenText Extended ECM to handle large volumes of data and many users working in parallel. The team also worked on code refactoring and development of new functionality, including the creation of new business workflows, development of custom functionality according to the client’s requirements, and building SAP links for faster access to stored documents. An admin application was developed in Java using Angular 6 to create an intuitive user interface, and a mechanism was developed to ensure the automatic assignment of users to groups of the OpenText Extended ECM system based on their roles in SAP.
