Introduction: The MSP Challenge with OpenText
For Managed Service Providers (MSPs), supporting OpenText Documentum, Extended ECM, and Capture is mission critical for clients in regulated industries. These platforms drive document workflows, compliance, and automation — yet too often, MSPs rely on generic infrastructure monitoring tools like Splunk or Datadog that miss what really matters: application-level process health.
When ingestion queues stall, workflows break, or capture jobs fail, the disruption may not surface until end users complain. By then, SLA performance is already at risk, and remediation costs escalate.
Reveille SENTRY changes that equation.
Why OpenText Requires Purpose-Built Monitoring
OpenText isn’t just another application stack. Platforms like Documentum, Extended ECM, and Capture sit at the heart of loan processing, claims management, digital mailrooms, and compliance reporting. Failures here ripple across the entire business.
Generic tools monitor servers and networks. Reveille SENTRY goes further, delivering OEM-ready visibility into OpenText processes such as:
- Documentum repository performance, workflows, and job execution.
- Extended ECM integrations with SAP, Salesforce, and Microsoft 365.
- Capture ingestion pipelines and batch OCR jobs.
- SLA-aligned monitoring of user access, permissions, and document transactions.
The Hidden SLA Killers in OpenText Managed Services
Even the most skilled MSPs face risks from silent failures that generic tools won’t catch:
- Capture failures — batch OCR jobs stall, causing delays in AP, claims, or mailroom operations.
- Documentum workflow stalls — case approvals or compliance processes grind to a halt.
- Extended ECM sync errors — integrations with SAP or Salesforce silently fail, leading to missing metadata and audit gaps.
- User permissions/authentication issues — users lose access during business-critical tasks.
These aren’t server problems — they’re business process failures. And if you don’t catch them in time, SLAs suffer.
How Reveille SENTRY Delivers SLA Assurance for OpenText MSPs
Reveille SENTRY plugs directly into OpenText platforms, giving MSPs the visibility and automation needed to manage SLAs with confidence. Key capabilities include:
- Real-time monitoring into Documentum, Extended ECM, and Capture.
- Proactive detection of stalled workflows, failed ingestion jobs, or broken integrations.
- Automated recovery actions — restart, reroute, or escalate jobs instantly.
- AI-driven thresholds to identify anomalies before they cause SLA breaches.
- Business-aligned dashboards that tie monitoring directly to SLA commitments.
With SENTRY, MSPs can:
- Cut mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to repair (MTTR) dramatically.
- Reduce client trouble tickets by 50% or more.
- Scale OpenText services without additional staff overhead.
- Package SLA-backed monitoring as a differentiated premium service.
Real-World Use Cases
- Financial Services Firm: A Capture job processing mortgage applications froze overnight. SENTRY detected the stalled batch, auto-restarted the process, and notified the MSP — avoiding missed SLAs and costly downstream delays.
- Government Agency: Documentum workflow approvals for compliance cases stalled due to a hidden queue error. SENTRY flagged the anomaly in real time, preventing backlog and ensuring SLA targets were met.
- Insurance Provider: Extended ECM integration with SAP stopped syncing metadata. Generic tools missed it, but SENTRY alerted the MSP with full context, allowing a rapid fix before auditors noticed.
The MSP Business Impact
By assuring service levels across Documentum, Extended ECM, and Capture, MSPs can:
- Deliver higher-value services that go beyond uptime monitoring.
- Retain and expand client relationships with SLA-backed guarantees.
- Differentiate from competitors that only offer infrastructure-level monitoring.
- Protect profitability by reducing reactive support load.
Conclusion & CTA
OpenText platforms are too important — and too complex — for MSPs to manage with generic monitoring tools. Silent failures in Documentum, Extended ECM, and Capture can derail business processes, damage client trust, and erode SLAs.
With Reveille SENTRY, MSPs gain purpose-built observability to detect, resolve, and even prevent these failures before clients are impacted.
