MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the enterprise content management market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes EMC^® Corporation with the 2013 Global Enterprise Content Management Product Quality Leadership Award. The company's dedicated efforts to refresh its long-trusted EMC Documentum® enterprise content management platform have positioned it for strong growth in the coming years.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company whose product stands apart from competing products in terms of performance, reliability, design, usability and perceived value.

"To succeed in the mature, fragmented enterprise content management market, vendors must think global and provide solutions that are holistic and enterprise-wide," observed Frost & Sullivan Senior Director for Digital Media, Mukul Krishna. "In addition to promoting data-driven discovery, collaborative workflows, and a host of other new exploratory functionality, modern enterprise content solutions must seek deployment by businesses both large and small across every region."

EMC has been a long-time trusted vendor in the enterprise content marketplace, particularly serving industries with strong compliance and security needs, and has evolved to offer an extremely comprehensive platform that serves customers throughout the globe and across a range of industries including Energy and Engineering, Life Sciences, Healthcare, Financial Services, and Public Sector.

EMC's Documentum cloud-ready platform stands apart in the market for its enterprise-class scalability, flexibility and modularity. The flexibility of the platform is in its ability to meet a broad array of customer needs in a single unified platform, and in its ability to integrate strong virtualization and storage solutions as needed. EMC's organic enhancement of its solutions is supported by beneficial acquisitions, such as SaaS-based, enterprise file sync and share vendor Syncplicity®. Another factor that gives EMC products an edge is the ability to manage big data.

"The Documentum platform is both comprehensive and modular in that it spans an array of business process and workflow needs, content management functions, and analytics and insights activities but can be sold as individual components, which can be added onto or subtracted from in response to the organization's specific needs at that time," said Krishna. "This is important because, as an organization grows, so will the complexity of its content management needs, and its desire to track workflow across functions and even regions."

In addition to its unparalleled scalability, modularity, integrability and robustness, the Documentum platform is reputed for its strong compliance and e-discovery solutions. Overall, EMC has proven itself as a leading vendor across various aspects of the digital media ecosystem, from storage and virtualization solutions and now moving towards big data and beyond. Its comprehensive, easy-to-use platform that is both affordable and boasts precise scalability to meet an organization's year-on-year needs has EMC poised for continued growth.
