• Reduces manual copy and paste between legal and marketing teams
• Ensures only approved content is published to the website
• Supports faster updates for regulatory or policy changes

2. Use Sitefinity as the public front end for legal knowledge and resource centers

Data flow: OpenText eDOCS ? Sitefinity

Organizations can use Sitefinity to build a client portal, legal resource center, or public knowledge hub that displays selected documents, FAQs, guides, and case materials stored in eDOCS.

• Creates a polished self-service experience for clients or prospects
• Keeps legal documents governed in a secure repository
• Improves discoverability of approved legal content

3. Display matter-related documents in secure client portals

Data flow: Bi-directional

For law firms or corporate legal departments, Sitefinity can power secure client or employee portals that surface matter-specific documents from eDOCS.

• Reduces email-based document sharing
• Supports secure, role-based access to matter files

Marketing teams can draft web pages, landing pages, or campaign content in Sitefinity and route legal-sensitive items to eDOCS for review and approval. Once approved in eDOCS, the final version can be pushed back to Sitefinity for publication. This is especially useful for disclaimers, service descriptions, privacy notices, and jurisdiction-specific content.

• Shortens legal review cycles
• Creates a controlled approval trail
• Reduces compliance risk on externally published content

5. Synchronize document metadata for better search and navigation

This helps users quickly find relevant legal resources and ensures content is organized consistently across systems.

• Improves website search relevance
• Supports structured content browsing by practice area or topic
• Reduces duplicate manual tagging

6. Deliver personalized legal marketing content based on client interests

Data flow: Sitefinity ? OpenText eDOCS and OpenText eDOCS ? Sitefinity

Sitefinity can capture user behavior such as page visits, downloads, and topic preferences, then use that information to recommend relevant legal documents or articles stored in eDOCS.

• Helps marketing teams target audiences more effectively
• Connects web analytics with governed legal content

7. Maintain a single source of truth for published legal documents

• Reduces operational overhead for content maintenance

• Improves efficiency for multinational legal and marketing teams
• Helps manage jurisdiction-specific content requirements
