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 existing solutions is the better path.
Hyland’s Nuxeo Platform 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 Platform, as well as how it can transform your enterprise.
What is Nuxeo Platform?
Nuxeo Platform 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 components for use in Nuxeo Platform applications that enable users to easily add features.
