In regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, or insurance, a case workspace can store the approval trail, policy references, and correspondence related to a communication.

• Strengthens auditability and regulatory traceability
• Ensures only approved and current assets are used in customer communications
• Speeds up compliance review by centralizing evidence in the case workspace

4. Product information and asset alignment for e-commerce operations

Flow: Bi-directional

When product teams manage launch documentation, specifications, and merchandising tasks in OpenText Extended ECM, they can connect those workspaces to product imagery, videos, and rich media stored in AEM Assets. This helps e-commerce and merchandising teams ensure that product pages, catalogs, and promotional materials use the correct approved content for each product release.

• Improves consistency between product records and digital assets
• Accelerates product launch readiness across content and operations teams

• Connects creative production to business requirements and approvals
• Provides a clear handoff from request to final asset delivery
• Helps teams track version history and approval status in one process

7. Post-launch performance and content governance review

Flow: Bi-directional

After a campaign or content release, performance reports, feedback, and operational notes can be stored in the relevant OpenText workspace, while the associated assets remain linked in AEM Assets. This allows marketing, legal, and operations teams to review which assets performed well, which versions were used, and what governance actions are needed for future reuse.

• Creates a closed-loop process from asset creation to business outcome review
• Supports content governance and reuse decisions with business evidence
• Helps teams optimize future campaigns based on actual usage and results

Users access both from the same workspace experience without losing governance or structure.

• Combines structured business records with rich media assets
• Improves collaboration across departments that rely on both documents and creative files
• Reduces duplication by linking to authoritative content instead of copying files
