Rising infrastructure costs

Expensive on-prem FileNet hardware and application maintenance costs eat budget year after year.

Forced ECM consolidation with too much risk

Enterprise consolidation onto a single ECM standard forces this move — but poorly managed migrations risk data loss and user disruption.

Core application migrations that demand content moves

Line-of-business software migrations (Epic EHR, Guidewire) trigger the need to move FileNet content, yet core integrations are deeply customized.
