Case Study: Forest City achieves a single source of truth and streamlined operations with OpenText Content Suite Platform

Forest City supports organization restructure with OpenText Content Suite Platform

Forest City Realty Trust, a U.S. real estate company with more than 2,600 employees, faced fragmented document silos and slow, manual file searches—problems that came to a head during its REIT conversion when the legal team spent six months collecting 33,000 pages. Transfers between development and management and inconsistent records practices were limiting operational effectiveness and collaboration.

Forest City implemented OpenText Content Suite Platform with OpenText Application Governance & Archiving for SharePoint and Document Access for SAP to create a secure, centralized “single source of truth” that integrates with Microsoft and SAP. The solution improved access from familiar tools, enabled records management and secure extranet collaboration, and delivered faster workflows, greater mobility and significant time savings across legal, lease administration and other teams.
