Case Study: Evides Waterbedrijf achieves robust records management and reduced storage costs with OpenText

Evides’ Information Flows Smoothly Across the Enterprise with OpenText

Evides Waterbedrijf, a Dutch utilities company serving 2.5 million customers and employing 650 people, needed to modernize its information management while preserving the familiar Microsoft Office/SharePoint user experience. Key challenges included meeting strict legal retention and records‑management requirements, capturing retiring staff knowledge, avoiding a costly patchwork of add‑on vendors, and reducing growing storage overheads.

Evides implemented OpenText Content Server together with OpenText Application Governance & Archiving for Microsoft SharePoint to combine OpenText’s records and archival capabilities with a Microsoft interface. The integrated solution provides robust records management, long‑term archiving and single‑instance storage (lowering storage costs), eliminates risky vendor fragmentation, is managing more than 4 million documents enterprise‑wide, and lays the groundwork for improved enterprise search and collaboration.
