With the onslaught of digital, unstructured information including data
coming from mobile devices, social media and the Internet, organizations
are challenged with managing content to make more informed business
decisions. As a result, companies have increased their focus on
enterprise content management (ECM) solutions, deploying tools and
strategies that allow for the comprehensive management of their
unstructured information, wherever it exists.
To help clients navigate these challenges, Perficient,
Inc., (NASDAQ: PRFT), a leading information technology consulting
firm serving Global 2000 and other large enterprise customers throughout
North America, is growing its portfolio of solution products and has
produced a wide array of applications and utilities that can be
customized to solve specific enterprise challenges. Among its enhanced
solutions portfolio, Perficient now delivers configurable ECM and
business process management (BPM) solution accelerators utilizing IBM
technologies like IBM FileNet P8 for its customers across a variety of
industries including financial services and energy and utilities.
“Gleaning information from the vast amounts of content that exists in
today’s world to make proper business decisions is forcing enterprises
to rethink their content management strategies,” said Jack Finnegan,
general manager of Perficient’s IBM ECI practice. “With the development
of our intellectual property products, Perficient can now help our
clients innovate more efficiently and reduce total cost of ownership
through the implementation of existing applications. Specifically, we’ve
enabled our clients to address their content challenges through our IBM
ECM frameworks, and the beauty of these templates is they have
repeatable functionality, which leads to significant time and cost
savings.”
As an IBM ECM Preferred Partner and 4-Time North American ECM Partner of
the Year, the Perficient IBM ECM team has implemented hundreds of
successful content management projects. Recently, Perficient partnered
with a leading financial services institution to update the company’s
existing ECM and BPM technologies and platforms. The financial services
firm needed to migrate all of its content, which included more than 90
million documents, to an updated IBM FileNet P8 content repository.
Perficient’s unique migration approach leveraged its proprietary Content
Migration Tools to extract content directly from the underlying
storage device. Perficient completed the migration with zero impact to
critical business processes and well within the required time frame of
the financial services firm.
Witness Perficient’s ECM, Information Management and Data Analytics
Expertise at IBM IOD 2013
Perficient is highlighting its growing solutions portfolio, including
its ECM products, at IBM’s
Information On Demand 2013 conference, showcasing how companies can
transform their information from unstructured data into powerful
business insights. IOD is one of the largest global technical expos held
by IBM that focuses on Big Data and analytics, and will be held Nov. 3-7
at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
During the conference, Perficient and its client Mass Mutual will
discuss a successful ECM and information management project in the
session “A Tale of Two Migrations: A Contrast between Two Large-Scale
Migrations of Image Services to IBM FileNet” on Tuesday, Nov. 5. In
addition, Perficient case management expert Christine Livingston also
will highlight Perficient’s BPM expertise in the session “Incident
Management for Energy and Utilities with IBM Case Manager.” Livingston’s
session will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 6.
Perficient serves as a gold sponsor of IOD 2013, and its experts are
available in Booth 818G to discuss how it helps companies leverage IBM
software to extract actionable insight from data through business
analytics, activate the potential of unstructured data with enterprise
content management, and gain a single view of data through information
management solutions.
“Companies in every industry face an unprecedented amount of data both
inside and outside of their organizations. This has led to a growing
demand for new analytics and information management solutions, not just
the traditional reports of yesteryear,” said J-P Contreras, general
manager of Perficient’s IBM Business Analytics practice. “As an IBM
Premier Business Partner, Perficient works with clients in the
healthcare, financial services and retail industries to deliver IBM
software implementation expertise and solution accelerators to help
clients leverage data and transform it into actionable intelligence.”
In addition to its work with financial services firms, Perficient’s
healthcare experts work with healthcare companies to deliver the IBM
Healthcare Provider Data Model, which allows for rapid analytics for
healthcare providers. The data model is complemented by an ACO33
Quickstart, which delivers analytics that allow clients to manage their
accountable care organizations. Also, at a time when the retail industry
struggles to leverage customer data to drive loyalty and positive
experiences, Perficient offers its Retail Pathways Solution, which is a
pre-packaged data mart, reporting and analytics model that helps
retailers measure key performance indicators.
During IOD, Perficient experts are available to discuss these industry
offerings and also will demonstrate the company’s IBM solution
accelerators for clients, including:
-
Perficient’s Incident Insight, which provides incident reporting and
management solutions and runs on IBM Case Manager;
-
Perficient’s Output eXpress integrated with IBM Content Navigator,
which delivers high speed output and printing of documents stored in
IBM FileNet; and

Healthcare Analytics QuickStart for ACO 33, which offers a complete
solution that allows healthcare organizations to rapidly deploy an
analytics platform for collecting data and reporting quality measures
and key performance indicators.
