Full Story:
EMC® Corporation's (NYSE: EMC)
Enterprise Content Division (ECD), a leader in enterprise content
management (ECM), today announced EMC LEAP, a suite of
purpose-built, cloud-native content apps designed to revolutionize
the content management industry and transform interactions with
business content. Unlike other offerings in the market, EMC LEAP
apps deliver enterprise-grade content management capabilities
combined with the most intuitive user experience for diverse
business use cases.
"Our goal with the EMC LEAP family is to humanize the experience
of interacting with business content," said Rohit Ghai, President of EMC's Enterprise
Content Division. "Beautiful, intuitive, and purpose-built apps
drive engagement, which has a ripple effect. Customer engagement
drives loyalty; employee engagement improves productivity; and
partner and supplier engagement fosters better collaboration across
the value chain. This level of engagement enables superior customer
service, greater agility and new business opportunities, and is a
key marker of a successful digital business."
The EMC LEAP family will consist of both EMC and third-party
content apps, a modular platform and a premier marketplace, powered
by the industry's richest and most-advanced set of content
services. EMC LEAP apps are interoperable with existing content
repositories, but engineered to work "better together" with the
Documentum® family of content management products.
Repository independence allows content to be managed in place –
without customers having to migrate their content – unlike other
solutions in the market.
"EMC LEAP is a game changer; it's a few small apps for users,
one giant leap for ECM," said Savinay
Berry, Vice President of Products for EMC's Enterprise
Content Division. "We've taken a fundamentally different approach
to ECM, while building on more than 25 years of experience in
managing critical content for industry-leading organizations. Now,
interacting and engaging with business content is effortless. The
EMC LEAP family seamlessly integrates with existing systems and can
easily be configured in minutes for different use cases and
industry vertical requirements."
Today, EMC is introducing five apps focused on a variety of
content management use cases, a new partner and customer success
program, and a new partnership with DocuSign.
LEAP Courier: Content Exchange without the Chaos
LEAP
Courier offers a new way to power business processes that depend on
structured document exchange across organizational boundaries. It
provides a consumer-grade user experience for secure and structured
document exchange, validation and tracking. It is easily adaptable
to different use cases, configurable in minutes without any
additional development.
LEAP Snap: Enterprise Capture for Everyone
LEAP Snap
delivers the power of enterprise-grade document capture to all
business users by offering a delightful and easy-to-use experience.
Its powerful Advanced Recognition automatically captures,
categorizes and organizes documents and related document
information in real-time, turning unstructured content into
actionable digital business information. The solution is simple,
enables users to spin up an environment in less than five minutes,
and includes an innovative template design service to start the
capture process without the need for any configuration or
development.
LEAP Concert: Collaborative Document Authoring with
Control
LEAP Concert enables the creation of a wide variety
of documents in a collaborative but controlled environment.
Organizations can easily set up or import a working document to
begin dividing up tasks on the project. LEAP Concert includes the
ability to identify and assign work to be done on the document, and
simple review workflows allow sections to be approved and
completed, advancing the overall progress of the document. Project
owners can protect existing content, only allowing users to modify
the individual sections that have been assigned to them.
LEAP Express: Anywhere, Anytime Access to Your
Content
LEAP Express is a lightweight app designed to
easily browse, access, search and approve all content, no matter
where it lives. Express supports multiple form factors including
web, tablet and mobile, leveraging the latest design paradigms and
security features such as touch ID. Repository independence enables
a unified view of all documents and tasks, eliminating the need to
jump across different, custom apps to effectively work with
content.
LEAP Focus: Optimized Document Viewing Designed for
Mobile
LEAP Focus dramatically improves the document
consumption experience on mobile devices. It allows for fast, yet
detailed reading and reviewing of business documents like sales
contracts and agreements on the go. It eliminates the
frustrating "pinch-to-zoom" experience by automatically
reformatting the document based on selected font size for the
device, and reduces the requirement to view documents on non-mobile
devices.
eSignature and Digital Transaction Management
As part
of its vision to provide customers with premier content apps, EMC
is partnering with DocuSign, Inc. (DocuSign®). DocuSign
is the global leader in eSignature and Digital Transaction
Management (DTM), essential technology for enabling digital
enterprise workflows.
"LEAP is a game-changing set of SaaS-based content applications
that advance EMC's vision for next-generation enterprise
content solutions," said Mark
Register, SVP of Business Development and Channels at
DocuSign. "We're thrilled to have EMC join the DocuSign Global
Trust Network to bring the power of DocuSign DTM and eSignature to
EMC customers to help them solve critical digital
challenges."
LEAP Together: Customer and Partner Success Programs
LEAP Together is a comprehensive program designed to provide
customers and partners with additional benefits and ensure faster
time to value with their LEAP apps.
For existing customers, EMC is offering a revolutionary Loyalty
Tier, granting free access to its new LEAP suite of apps. Designed
to reward EMC customers for their continuing loyalty to the
Documentum family of products, this new program will enable all
current, maintenance-paying customers to immediately access and
begin using relevant EMC LEAP apps free of charge in the Loyalty
Tier. Customers will also enjoy superior customer support with
dedicated LEAP Customer Success Managers, who will help deploy and
ensure apps are running smoothly in their infrastructure.
EMC is also expanding support for its robust and vibrant partner
community by launching a new SaaS Solution Provider Track within
the ECD Business Partner Program. By establishing a SaaS specialty,
ECD is providing approved partners with specific benefits and
requirements that are aligned with the SaaS sales motion. In
addition, partners will receive compelling financial incentives to
drive rapid adoption of the SaaS program and new sales of the LEAP
apps. As new apps become generally available, partners will have
the opportunity to resell apps and services, with additional
program features to be launched later this year.
Pricing and Availability
LEAP Courier and LEAP Snap
are available to a limited number of customers today and will be
generally available in June. LEAP Concert, LEAP Express, and LEAP
Focus are in active recruitment for beta customers this quarter
with general availability in the second half of 2016. All LEAP
solutions are available on pay-per-use subscription basis and use
value-based pricing. Through the LEAP Together Program and Loyalty
Tier, existing customers will get free access to equivalent apps
(see above for more information).
Customer Quote:
Jamaluddin
Kokan, Senior Technology Architect, Infosys
"I'm
impressed with how intuitive the EMC LEAP apps are, and how easily
they can be configured in a matter of minutes for different use
cases. The EMC offerings have the look and feel of consumer
apps, are simple to implement, and will allow all of our clients to
easily and quickly engage with content."
Analyst Quotes:
EMC LEAP [formerly Project Horizon]
"embodies the most innovation in terms of content that we've seen
from EMC in years," wrote Craig Le
Clair and Cheryl McKinnon of
Forrester Research.*
Melissa Webster, Program Vice
President, Content and Digital Media Technologies, IDC: "The
nature of work is changing. Businesses need to collaborate
digitally with customers, partners, suppliers, and employees – in
real time, from any device. This requires intuitive, cloud-based
apps that let them easily co-create, contribute, and share
information – and coordinate efforts. Collaboration is also a vital
part of business processes, and enterprises can lose critical
context when collaboration is disconnected from the business focus.
It requires fundamentally reimagining content collaboration. EMC's
LEAP suite makes that LEAP."
Partner Quotes:
Scott
Schaftlein, Managing Director, Accenture
Interactive: "When we're consulting with
organizations on digital transformation, adoption and speed to
market are key C-level concerns. We're excited to see EMC LEAP
bring a new level of innovation for EMC, as we believe a relentless
focus on intuitive, modular solutions will drive faster speed to
market and enable better adoption of new, digital
capabilities."
Michael Woodbridge, ECM Chief
Technology Officer, Capgemini UK: "We're a trusted advisor in
our customers' digital transformation journey. Frequently,
customers struggle with content silos and harvesting knowledge out
of their content, which represents the largest amount of data
within organizations today. EMC's LEAP family provides
organizations with applications that fit into a modern digital
workplace backed by rigorous, industrial-grade content
management."
Mario Duckett, Vice President
of Enterprise Content Solutions, MetaSource: "EMC's LEAP suite
offers a set of easy-to-use content apps and services in a platform
that is solving complex business problems, yet also opens up new
opportunities for the SMB space. We've been a successful SaaS and
Captiva® provider for many years, and we're excited to see how
customers will leverage Snap, which packs the power of
enterprise-grade capture into a simple app that any casual business
worker can use."
Erik Raper, Senior Vice
President, Paragon Solutions, Inc.: "EMC's new collection of
content-centric apps underscores its appreciation of domain-centric
solutions. EMC LEAP extends the value of Documentum to enable
digital transformation and bring customers high-quality,
industry-specific solutions, in a simplified app experience."
