Mobius Management Systems, the leading provider of total content management (TCM) solutions, is expecting continued growth in demand for content management solutions in the EMEA territory - and sees SA making a significant contribution to this growth through Bateleur Software Solutions, its official local representative.
That`s the word from newly-appointed Mobius UK MD Nick Ellis, who visited SA this week to meet the Bateleur team as well as customers and prospects.
"My plans for the region are to help Bateleur grow what is already a successful Mobius business," Ellis said. "Our primary objectives are to grow our revenue in SA from our new product offerings, and to increase our footprint in the local SAP market."
Prior to joining Mobius, Ellis was MD of enterprise content management provider IXOS, represented in SA by Datacentrix. As a result, he has extensive experience and knowledge of the South African marketplace.
"I believe there is very good potential here and that we can use SA to move into other parts of sub-Saharan Africa," he said.
Bateleur Software Solutions and Mobius UK will work closely together to achieve the two organisations` joint business plan. In addition to the traditional Mobius markets of content management in the mainframe sector and open systems, they will target the SAP market as well as the banking, financial services, insurance and manufacturing vertical sectors.
Commenting on products with particular relevance to the South African market, Ellis mentioned Mobius`s newly-acquired records management and e-mail management products, which play a key role in companies looking for compliance solutions.
ViewDirect RM for SharePoint is a complete records management solution for users of Microsoft SharePoint products and technologies. This new release enables organisations to index, link, store, search, access and manage records stored in SharePoint over the complete lifecycle, and destroy them in a timely manner, thus enabling compliance with regulatory requirements and corporate retention and disposition policies.
ViewDirect E-mail Management enables enterprises to offload e-mails to secondary storage, gain custody and control of e-mails, and manage e-mail records according to corporate retention and disposition rules. This product offers unmatched flexibility in defining classification, retention and disposition rules. E-mails are always available to users as well as to compliance officers and corporate managers. Integration with the ViewDirect TCM repository provides a standards-compliant storage solution that is secure, scalable and preserves the original e-mail format with attachments.
"In addition, we are starting to offer application solutions that support accounts payable, accounts receivable and short pay," Ellis said.
