Hyland Software launches U.K Data Center to Enterprise Content Management switch to cloud computing

Hyland software has launched a European Data Center to ease the transition of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) from on-premise deployment to cloud computing Software as a Service (SaaS), or vice versa.

Having previously released the OnBase ECM software suite for companies in North America, Hyland’s enabling of companies in the U.K. to use OnBase OnLine (OBOL) will give them the same tools to adjust their ECM systems to a cloud computing system and benefit from the technology’s stabilized costs and lack of additional IT resources.

“Over the last many months, SaaS-deployed ECM has been a hot topic in this part of the world,” said Mark Greatorex, Hyland’s director of Europe and Africa. “Document and content management today not only has to match business needs, but it also must be able to change when those needs change. Because of our new OBOL operation in the U.K., European companies now have that ability with their ECM system. And not only are they getting choice – they’re getting six years of SaaS experience from an industry leader.”

Despite trumpeting their new European Data Center as a means for companies to switch to cloud computing, OnBase will be available on-premise or as SaaS and will be able to be switched as needed.
