Project Horizon is built upon Pivotal CF and enables all digital content flows for the digital enterprise. EMC indicates that it offers a unique approach with a mobile-first, cloud-first mentality that is designed to provide a next-generation, multi-tenant content platform. As a result, customers now have the freedom to innovate and consume based on content-specific use cases as well as experience new levels of agility, user experience and productivity. EMC claims that this is accomplished by utilizing data and analytics to automate routine tasks, and to offer predictive insights.
Project Horizon Highlights include:
- Agile Foundation: Multi-tenant foundation offered as shared services platform for building cloud native applications.
- Bridge to Future: Allows existing current-generation Documentum, solutions based on D2 and xCP to be hosted on Project Horizon, enabling customers to advance their digital journey while continuing to access its UI and platform services. New solutions to be hosted on Project Horizon include Documentum Capital Projects Express and Documentum Life Sciences Solutions Suite 4.0.
- Modular Architecture & Out-of-the-Box Value: Built with a microservices-based architecture, Project Horizon is DevOps and Agile ready. The architecture supports continuous integration and deployment thereby enabling a cycle of innovation of days or weeks rather than months or even years. Each of these Modules or “Tiles” will also have an out-of-the-box app and the ability to embed that app to build solutions by assembling these modular blocks of functionalities. This enhances time to value and allows customers to use what they need and pay only for what they use.
- Co-Innovation Program: A new innovation program specifically designed to engage customers from early development cycle through rapid visual prototyping. The program’s unique approach involves partners and customers working with EMC teams to build Project Horizon Tiles.
As mentioned above, Documentum Life Sciences Solutions Suite 4.0 and Documentum Capital Projects Express will be hosted on Project Horizon. EMC has also announced a partnership with NNIT, an international IT service provider for regulated industries, to host the Documentum Life Sciences Solutions Suite in its GxP cloud offering. As per their agreement, NNIT will act as a consulting and Cloud services partner for EMC, serving the Life Sciences industry in EMEA.
