What can you do with Hyland Nuxeo™?

As enterprise content volume grows exponentially in quantity and value, IT leaders such as CIOs and chief architects can leverage this increasing data by making a pivotal decision: either build their own custom information management architecture or invest in existing solutions from leading vendors.

While building in-house can seem appealing, it often proves to be time-consuming, resource-intensive and fraught with challenges. Often, investing in proven solutions is the better path.

Nuxeo offers a ready-to-go solution for a robust, flexible and future-proof information management environment.

Let’s explore the key architectural components of Nuxeo, as well as how it can transform your enterprise.

Nuxeo is a cloud-native, cloud-first, scalable solution for managing enterprise content. It uses automation technologies to improve efficiencies and accuracy. Using its low-code technology, organizations can easily develop custom features that enhance creative workflows and support business needs. Employees can then easily create, tag, organize and share dynamic content, including rich media and 3D digital assets, and use the AI-generated metadata to more effectively collaborate across the organization.

The Nuxeo Marketplace

The Nuxeo Marketplace is Hyland’s application store. It provides connectors, integrations, extensions, plug-ins, packages and other optional that make it easy to add new capabilities to any Nuxeo application.

Nuxeo vs. IBM’s FileNet

• Modern architecture: Nuxeo is built with a modern, cloud-native architecture; FileNet often relies on legacy systems.

• Flexibility and extensibility: Nuxeo provides significant flexibility and extensibility, thanks to its open source foundation and low-code capabilities. This makes it straightforward to customize and integrate with other systems. FileNet customizations are not preserved during upgrades, requiring repeated customization after an upgrade.

• Cost efficiency: Nuxeo’s deployment options and open source approach can lower total cost of ownership compared to the typically higher costs associated with FileNet’s proprietary solutions.

• User experience: Nuxeo provides a modern, intuitive and user-friendly interface that enhances productivity and user adoption; FileNet’s interface isn’t as modernized or user-friendly.

Nuxeo vs. Microsoft SharePoint

• Robust digital asset management: Nuxeo for DAM excels in handling rich media assets and complex content workflows; SharePoint is primarily focused on document management and collaboration.

• Scalability: Nuxeo’s cloud-native architecture allows for seamless scaling to meet the demands of large enterprises; SharePoint can encounter limitations when managing extensive digital assets.

• Integration capabilities: While SharePoint offers robust integration with Microsoft products, Nuxeo provides a broader range of integrations across various enterprise systems, creative tools and cloud services.

• Customization and extensibility: Nuxeo’s low-code interface and open source foundation offer superior customization options compared to SharePoint’s more rigid framework.

With a thriving community of customers, decades of innovative problem-solving, a million-plus lines of open source code and thousands of development hours, Nuxeo stands as a modern content solution that meets ever-evolving needs.
