Full Story: "Our goal with the EMC LEAP family is to humanize the experience of interacting with business content," said Rohit Ghai, President of EMC's Enterprise Content Division. "Beautiful, intuitive, and purpose-built apps drive engagement, which has a ripple effect. Customer engagement drives loyalty; employee engagement improves productivity; and partner and supplier engagement fosters better collaboration across the value chain. This level of engagement enables superior customer service, greater agility and new business opportunities, and is a key marker of a successful digital business." The EMC LEAP family will consist of both EMC and third-party content apps, a modular platform and a premier marketplace, powered by the industry's richest and most-advanced set of content services. EMC LEAP apps are interoperable with existing content repositories, but engineered to work "better together" with the Documentum® family of content management products. Repository independence allows content to be managed in place – without customers having to migrate their content – unlike other solutions in the market. "EMC LEAP is a game changer; it's a few small apps for users, one giant leap for ECM," said Savinay Berry, Vice President of Products for EMC's Enterprise Content Division. "We've taken a fundamentally different approach to ECM, while building on more than 25 years of experience in managing critical content for industry-leading organizations. Now, interacting and engaging with business content is effortless. The EMC LEAP family seamlessly integrates with existing systems and can easily be configured in minutes for different use cases and industry vertical requirements." Today, EMC is introducing five apps focused on a variety of content management use cases, a new partner and customer success program, and a new partnership with DocuSign. LEAP Courier: Content Exchange without the Chaos LEAP Snap: Enterprise Capture for Everyone LEAP Concert: Collaborative Document Authoring with Control LEAP Express: Anywhere, Anytime Access to Your Content LEAP Focus: Optimized Document Viewing Designed for Mobile eSignature and Digital Transaction Management "LEAP is a game-changing set of SaaS-based content applications that advance EMC's vision for next-generation enterprise content solutions," said Mark Register, SVP of Business Development and Channels at DocuSign. "We're thrilled to have EMC join the DocuSign Global Trust Network to bring the power of DocuSign DTM and eSignature to EMC customers to help them solve critical digital challenges." LEAP Together: Customer and Partner Success Programs For existing customers, EMC is offering a revolutionary Loyalty Tier, granting free access to its new LEAP suite of apps. Designed to reward EMC customers for their continuing loyalty to the Documentum family of products, this new program will enable all current, maintenance-paying customers to immediately access and begin using relevant EMC LEAP apps free of charge in the Loyalty Tier. Customers will also enjoy superior customer support with dedicated LEAP Customer Success Managers, who will help deploy and ensure apps are running smoothly in their infrastructure. EMC is also expanding support for its robust and vibrant partner community by launching a new SaaS Solution Provider Track within the ECD Business Partner Program. By establishing a SaaS specialty, ECD is providing approved partners with specific benefits and requirements that are aligned with the SaaS sales motion. In addition, partners will receive compelling financial incentives to drive rapid adoption of the SaaS program and new sales of the LEAP apps. As new apps become generally available, partners will have the opportunity to resell apps and services, with additional program features to be launched later this year. Pricing and Availability Customer Quote: Analyst Quotes: Melissa Webster, Program Vice President, Content and Digital Media Technologies, IDC: "The nature of work is changing. Businesses need to collaborate digitally with customers, partners, suppliers, and employees – in real time, from any device. This requires intuitive, cloud-based apps that let them easily co-create, contribute, and share information – and coordinate efforts. Collaboration is also a vital part of business processes, and enterprises can lose critical context when collaboration is disconnected from the business focus. It requires fundamentally reimagining content collaboration. EMC's LEAP suite makes that LEAP." Partner Quotes: Michael Woodbridge, ECM Chief Technology Officer, Capgemini UK: "We're a trusted advisor in our customers' digital transformation journey. Frequently, customers struggle with content silos and harvesting knowledge out of their content, which represents the largest amount of data within organizations today. EMC's LEAP family provides organizations with applications that fit into a modern digital workplace backed by rigorous, industrial-grade content management." Mario Duckett, Vice President of Enterprise Content Solutions, MetaSource: "EMC's LEAP suite offers a set of easy-to-use content apps and services in a platform that is solving complex business problems, yet also opens up new opportunities for the SMB space. We've been a successful SaaS and Captiva® provider for many years, and we're excited to see how customers will leverage Snap, which packs the power of enterprise-grade capture into a simple app that any casual business worker can use." Erik Raper, Senior Vice President, Paragon Solutions, Inc.: "EMC's new collection of content-centric apps underscores its appreciation of domain-centric solutions. EMC LEAP extends the value of Documentum to enable digital transformation and bring customers high-quality, industry-specific solutions, in a simplified app experience." Additional Resources:
