Working with OpenText™ Professional Services, the WRC upgraded to OpenText™ Content Suite to manage and govern critical business information and improve the user experience. The Council can easily search and access the right information at the right time, enabling faster and better decision making. They also added OpenText™ Core Share, to extend collaboration outside of the organization with its partners and contractors, while offering enterprise-grade security and helping maintain compliance.

“The OpenText content services platform has improved functionality and offers users a better experience and more options. We have the right information at the right time to make the right decision,” said Joanne Bell, Information Management Team Lead at WRC. “The ability to share information directly from Content Suite using Core Share with our external contractors has been really valuable. With Core Share we can see when external people have viewed documents and what they have done. It gives us much better visibility on who is using our information and how.”
