• Supports sales agreements, partner onboarding, and service terms
• Ensures the published content matches the signed legal document
• Improves consistency across web, mobile, and document-based experiences

3. Customer onboarding with signed consent and content-driven guidance

5. Regulated content release with legal sign-off

For industries with strict review requirements, content in Contentful can be routed to legal or compliance approvers in OpenText Core Signature before it is published. This is especially valuable for healthcare messaging, financial promotions, and public sector communications where sign-off must be documented.

• Creates a controlled release process for high-risk content
• Helps enforce governance without slowing editorial teams unnecessarily
• Maintains an approval record linked to the content version

6. Signed partner or vendor onboarding documents linked to content portals

Data flow: Contentful ? OpenText Core Signature ? Contentful

Contentful can power partner portals or supplier onboarding pages with instructions, requirements, and document checklists.

• Streamlines partner and supplier onboarding at scale
• Improves transparency for external users through portal updates
• Reduces back-and-forth between procurement, legal, and operations teams

7. Multi-channel content governance with signature-based exception handling

Data flow: Bi-directional

Contentful can manage the master version of structured content used across websites, apps, and digital touchpoints, while OpenText Core Signature handles exception approvals when content changes require formal sign-off. For example, if a regulated product description is edited, the updated version can be sent for signature before being republished across channels.

• Useful for content changes that affect multiple customer-facing channels
• Prevents unauthorized updates from going live
• Supports governance for distributed content teams

8. Audit-ready document and content lifecycle management

Data flow: OpenText Core Signature ? Contentful

This allows teams to display approved content status in internal portals, customer dashboards, or compliance views without exposing the signed document itself.

• Improves visibility into approval and compliance status
• Supports internal reporting and operational dashboards
• Keeps content teams informed without manual reconciliation
