The following integration use cases show how the two platforms can work together in practical enterprise workflows.

1. Final marketing asset declaration as a compliant business record

When a campaign asset in CELUM reaches final approval, the approved version can be transferred to OpenText Extended ECM - Records Management for formal record declaration.

2. Retention and disposition of campaign records after publication

CELUM can manage active campaign assets during creation and distribution, while OpenText Extended ECM - Records Management applies retention schedules once the campaign is complete.

• Business value: Improves metadata consistency and reduces manual filing effort
