Achievements

2005

Creation of C6 and development of D2 v1.0

In 2005, making a project on top of Documentum was synonym of customizing.

This is why we created D2 with the objective of “making Documentum easy” and using the one concept to reach this goal: configuration.

We wanted Documentum customers to continue to benefit from the power of the EMC platform by making use of the standard mechanisms while making it easy to configure, deploy and use. Our motto: “easy configuration for complex needs”.

Our solution: D2

  • D2 is a fully configurable web application for creating, managing, storing and delivering any type of information.
  • Based on EMC Documentum, this upgradeable solution is designed to easily respond to ECM implementation challenges by avoiding long and expensive specific development projects. D2 allows the use of the same solution for all ECM needs, to extend its scope easily and follow internal processes development without delay, in a unified and secured environment powered by the EMC platform.
  • D2 offers a broad numbers of features, which can quickly be made available through an intuitive GUI, without writing a single line of code. This leads to a high satisfaction rate with our users.
  • The combination of robustness and reliability in the EMC Documentum platform performances with the flexibility and usability of C6’s software suite, achieves a return on investment faster than traditional solutions.

2006 - 2009

Extension of D2 and development of D2 additional tools

During these years and our initial successes with D2, which we enhanced at a steady rate, we introduced a set of tools extending D2’s functionality:

  • C2: Watermarking and control of PDF documents
  • O2: Automatic transfer of properties between D2 and Microsoft Office©
  • P2: Paper-based and electronic publishing
  • P2 Xpress: Quick publishing for D2 and Webtop
  • D2 Specs: Automatic generation and comparison of specifications document
  • P2 eCTD: The electronic common technical document (eCTD) is an interface and international specification for the pharmaceutical industry to agency transfer of regulatory information. P2 eCTD allows to follow this specification within D2.

D2 suite made available in the EMC Select Program

After various successful rollouts of D2 to European customers, EMC offered to extend its partnership with C6 and include D2 in its Select catalog, a reseller program that accelerates customer success with a qualified third-party product.
