Tenthline: Unleashing the Cloud Advantage in ECM Space

Companies, large and small, are seeing value in migrating their various applications to the cloud. In particular, moving enterprise content management (ECM) systems to cloud tops the application-migration list. ECM in the cloud enables enterprises to save money on buying, maintaining, and managing hardware, software, and associated personnel. Cloud-based ECM also provides anytime-anywhere access to information to an enterprise's employees and authorized users. In addition, sensitive corporate data is kept secure, with robust disaster recovery. It is even more advantageous for enterprises to employ a managed service provider (MSP) for their ECM on the cloud. MSPs enable enterprises to concentrate on their business activities, increase productivity, reduce operating costs, and achieve faster ROI. This is the space Tenthline has over a decade of experience in. As an MSP with a focus on ECM cloud-migration and management, Tenthline delivers its services using a perfect combination of partnerships, technologies, and developers.

The company particularly leverages Alfresco’s open source, cloud-based ECM platform to help clients manage their content disarray to bring order to their business processes. The Founder and CEO of Tenthline, Zahid Mahmood observes that “today, open source solutions are much more modern with rich feature sets available at a fraction of the cost of proprietary solutions, and combining this with what the cloud has to offer, we have a perfect solution here.” This is the very reason why Tenthline struck a partnership with Alfresco in 2005, and for over a decade the company has been successfully deploying Alfresco's agile enterprise solutions including ECM, BPM, AWS/ Azure managed services, and others.

Tenthline follows a straightforward implementation process. It first undertakes the customer's initial analysis to understand the solution required and determine the infrastructure based on the amount and type of content, number of users, and other parameters. Then, be it well-organized content or content chaos, Tenthline determines the location of the data, the possibility of getting metadata, the kind of metadata to be preserved, and how to migrate the data. The enterprise is given a chance to clean up some of their content in the process whereafter Tenthline transfers the enterprise data to the cloud.
