Case Study: Documentum achieves company-wide Java standardization and boosts productivity with JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA

Documentum - Customer Case Study

Documentum, a global leader in enterprise content and knowledge management, faced the challenge of building highly scalable, resource-efficient Java solutions to handle rapidly growing and diverse information needs. Its engineering teams needed better tooling for complex, repetitive tasks like refactoring to improve code quality, portability and to meet demanding customer requirements.

Principal engineer Victor Spivak trialed IntelliJ IDEA and word-of-mouth adoption grew quickly—Documentum moved from an initial batch of licenses to a company-wide site license so that every Java developer uses IDEA. The result was immediate and sustained gains in productivity and code quality: fewer compile-time errors, more predictable schedules, stronger QA, and improved maintainability across key products such as the Web Development Kit and client applications.
