Global insurance company: Upgrade and migration to Documentum 7

Brunswick - July 01, 2015 : A global insurance company was in need to upgrade their Documentum 6.5 SP2 system to Documentum 7 to get to a supported version and have access to the new client technologies and functionalities for their more than 3,000 Documentum users. Furthermore, a legacy database application had to be decommissioned and integrated into the existing Documentum platform. To provide better performance and availability with Documentum 7 the whole infrastructure of the complex environment had to be redesigned and rebuilt.
