Measure user adoption after launching new document management processes, records classifications, or collaboration spaces in Extended ECM. Insights can show whether teams are using the new workflows, where drop-off occurs, and which departments need additional training or change support.

Business value: Helps project teams validate rollout success, target enablement efforts, and accelerate user adoption.

3. Workflow Performance and Bottleneck Analysis

Data flow: OpenText Extended ECM - Content Server ? OpenText Core Experience Insights

Analyze workflow-related content activity such as approval delays, repeated document revisions, and time spent in review states. By correlating content interactions with process steps, organizations can identify bottlenecks in legal review, contract approval, or records disposition workflows.

Capture search queries, failed searches, repeated refinements, and document click-through patterns from the content repository. Experience Insights can reveal whether users are finding the right content quickly or struggling with metadata, taxonomy, or search relevance.

Business value: Improves findability, reduces time spent searching, and increases employee productivity.

6. Content Lifecycle and Retention Effectiveness Review

7. Feedback Loop for Content Owners and Knowledge Managers

Data flow: Bi-directional

Use usage analytics from Core Experience Insights to inform content owners in Extended ECM about which documents, workspaces, or knowledge articles need updates, consolidation, or retirement.
