KnowledgeMill signs agreement with EMC

To deliver business context-enriched Enterprise Content Management solutions

Hisham Anis, CEO of KnowledgeMill, said, “This alliance will broaden and deepen KnowledgeMill’s capability to deliver to customers full content management solutions based on business context, worldwide. Enterprises are generating unstructured content such as word processing documents, e-mails, presentations, rich-media files, and spreadsheets at unprecedented levels. This reality coupled with the economic conditions places an emphasis on efficient content management solutions that deliver critical information at the right time to help your business make better decisions faster.“

Anis says KnowledgeMill solutions represent an ‘inflective moment’ for the enterprise content management industry, one that necessitates a whole new approach to serving the needs of businesses of all sizes. It’s all about putting the business users at the centre of a content management strategy. “Traditionally customers have focussed on records management, without having a solution that allows the end-user to influence how that content is used and retained,” he says.” By managing and delivering your intellectual assets effectively at the right time to the right business users, and providing a disciplined framework for ensuring your content assets are built and recycled in alignment with your business model, information really does become an asset. Through this alliance, we are able to deliver a solution that leverages the EMC Documentum enterprise content management platform and deliver new business value for customers.

Jean Claude Broido, Senior Vice President of International Sales, Information Intelligence Group, a division of EMC says, “Managing content across an enterprise, whilst keeping cost down and delivering innovation and value is a major challenge to any business. With EMC Documentum, KnowledgeMill can meet that challenge by not only making content significantly more manageable and controllable, but by embedding content with intelligence and presenting it to the end user in new, meaningful ways.”

KnowledgeMill have already delivered strong results for a Global Law Firm with their first commercially available product. Their E-mail solution ‘Context Store for Exchange’ which organises email data by legal matter, has delivered significant cost reductions, improved business collaboration and empowered the businesses ability to respond to eDiscovery.

Anis has plans to deliver more. KnowledgeMill’s email solution works whether you are hosting your own exchange infrastructure, or hosting it from within the Cloud. This is a pointer of things to come. “Our mission is to become the leading provider of innovative, efficient, context enriched Enterprise Content Management solutions for the legal sector and other industry verticals, both in the Cloud and for traditionally hosted solutions. Through our alliance with EMC, we are well positioned to deliver this.”
