EMC signs 15 000th customer

Information management and storage vendor EMC has 15 000 enterprise content management customers. Number 15 000 was the United States Department of Defense`s Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC), writes Boursorama.

The organisation serves as the centralised operation for acquiring, storing, retrieving and disseminating documents and information to government personnel, contractors, potential contractors and the public.

Millions of existing paper and digital documents, some more than three decades old, will be captured, managed and stored in the EMC Documentum repository. DTIC selected the Documentum system due, in part, to its business process management, tracking and auditing capabilities, which will help the DTIC to control access to restricted information.
