The Challenge
To fully realize the benefits of ECM technology, any solution must be tailored to meet an organization’s specific requirements and business processes. Each organization’s IT environment and integration requirements are different. Every organization has unique ways of creating and disseminating content, including different content models, taxonomy requirements, processes, and security policies – all of which must be addressed during an ECM implementation.
Our Experience
The Formtek team has over twenty years of experience successfully delivering ECM software and services. Our customers range from small businesses to large global organizations, and span a variety of industries. We leverage that experience, and provide our deepest commitment to each of our customers, in meeting their ECM requirements and goals.
Our Expertise
Our Professional Services organization includes expertise and resources to assist your organization in the following areas:

Formtek solutions are built on modern, open, and adaptable content management platforms, and offer an ease of support and customization at a fraction of the cost of legacy systems. We can help you migrate from old and difficult content management systems to a modern architecture, while maintaining all historical data. We have specific experience migrating legacy DocuShare systems to Alfresco Content Services.
- Requirements Definition – We’ll help you analyze your specific business requirements, and properly document those requirements before system migration or software customization begins.
