EDOCS REPLACEMENT: HOW TO MIGRATE TO M-FILES

WHAT TO DO IF YOU'RE STILL USING EDOCS

OpenText has officially sold eDOCS to long-time competitor NetDocuments. For many eDOCS customers, this raises big questions about platform support, long-term viability, and what to do next.

If you're looking for a modern, supported, and future-ready content management solution, you're not alone and you're not stuck.

WHY NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME TO MOVE ON FROM EDOCS

Concerta Consulting has been working with eDOCS since the 1990s, first with PCDocs, then Hummingbird, and later OpenText. We've seen the platform evolve, and we've also seen the signs of slowdown: fewer feature updates, lack of a published roadmap, and key departures from the product team.

That's why five years ago, we began looking for a better long-term solution for our clients. The sale to NetDocuments only confirms that it was the right move.

WHY M-FILES IS THE BEST ALTERNATIVE TO EDOCS

After evaluating several ECM platforms, we partnered with M-Files.
