Partnership Enables Life Sciences Enterprises to Better Achieve Efficient and Valid Content and Data Migration into EMC Documentum
Austin, Texas and Bernardsville, New Jersey – Blue Fish Development Group, the enterprise content management experts, and Valiance Partners, the authorities for compliance and validation, today announced a strategic alliance focused on helping Life Sciences enterprises achieve highly efficient and valid migrations of content and data into the EMC Documentum environment.
Like many sectors, the Life Sciences industry is experiencing growing competition and regulatory pressures, as well as strong imperatives for operational excellence. New efficiencies and better risk management are required in response to business rationalization, organizational streamlining, and consolidation programs. The accurate migration of compliant information assets now assumes strategic importance.
In response, Blue Fish and Valiance are jointly marketing a comprehensive package of products and services that set a new performance benchmark for FDA-compliant migrations into target applications built on the EMC Documentum platform - a virtual standard for enterprise content management in the Life Sciences.
Two products – Blue Fish DIXI, a robust migration tool, and TRUcompare a powerful tool for the automated testing of migration results – are at the core of this offering. These highly complementary offerings are each recognized for their Documentum compatibility and are "Designed for EMC Documentum" accredited by EMC.
"We are delighted to join forces with Valiance Partners to help our clients confront the ever increasing challenges of compliant migrations," said Michael Trafton, President of Blue Fish. "TRUcompare is the best-in-class technology for testing and validating EMC Documentum migration results."
"Together, Blue Fish and Valiance provide the only complete and total solution for migrating and validating high-value content into the EMC Documentum environment," said Richard Higger, President of Valiance Partners. "DIXI is a highly flexible and scalable product that brings great efficiencies to complex migration programs."
Rob Tarkoff, senior vice president of EMC Global Alliances said, "By leveraging their respective products and expertise, Blue Fish and Valiance are not only adding value to the life sciences industry by reducing risks associated with data migrations, they are also giving customers the peace-of-mind that comes with purchasing a 'Designed for EMC Documentum' accredited product."
