Case Study: Ministry for the Environment (New Zealand) achieves instant access to organizational knowledge and enhanced collaboration with OpenText Enterprise Content Management-as-a-Service

Government agency informing country’s environmental policies shares content, engages users with OpenText Enterprise Content Management-as-a-Service in the Cloud

The Ministry for the Environment in New Zealand, a policy agency that treats information as a core asset, was hampered by an outdated, underused document management system that created knowledge gaps and blocked collaboration. With a younger, mobile-savvy workforce and a need to share information easily with regional councils and partner agencies, the Ministry required a reliable, cloud-first solution that staff would trust and use.

The Ministry adopted OpenText Enterprise Content Management-as-a-Service (ECMaaS), branded internally as Te Puna, and migrated more than two million objects without any data loss. The cloud service improved usability and searchability, drove rapid staff adoption, enabled better internal and external collaboration, and let IT focus on strategic priorities while benefiting from a scalable, cost-efficient managed service.
