Case Study: Stikeman Elliott achieves a single view of enterprise content and streamlined matter management with OpenText eDOCS Integration for Microsoft SharePoint

Stikeman Elliott Has a Single View into Enterprise Content using OpenText eDOCS Integration for Microsoft SharePoint by SeeUnity Inc.

Stikeman Elliott, a leading Canadian business law firm with offices across the country, faced fragmented access to client and matter content scattered across multiple eDOCS libraries. The firm needed to improve information access and collaboration between legal and non-legal teams, publish controlled documentation through a SharePoint portal, and deliver a seamless SharePoint user experience while preserving security and version control.

Stikeman Elliott integrated OpenText eDOCS DM with Microsoft SharePoint using OpenText eDOCS Integration for SharePoint (SeeUnity), keeping eDOCS as the secure back end and exposing content through a SharePoint front end. The solution delivered a single view of matter content, unified search across repositories, consistent version control and audit trails, and easier collaboration; about 8 million documents remain centrally managed, an initial rollout reached ~100 lawyers with a full rollout planned for 1,300 staff, and users report faster access and minimal training requirements.
