EMC Corporation, world leader in information storage and management, today announced Advance Info Services PLC, the leading mobile provider in Thailand, has enhanced its information lifecycle management strategy by using EMC Documentum ApplicationXtender (AX) to manage its digital information assets across tiered storage platforms, including EMC Symmetrix DMX networked storage system and EMC Centera content addressed storage.
AIS is an outstanding example of a fast growing number of businesses in Thailand that has significantly benefited from leveraging massive information storehouses found in various business applications. To pursue a paperless environment with better control and management of its customer, legal and human resources information, AIS worked with Neoplus, an EMC value-added partner, to purchase and implement AX and EMC Centera within its existing information infrastructure.
Mr. Suphot Punnachaiya, Assistant Vice President - Technical Systems Support, AIS, said, “We are dealing with too much paper in our environment. A more efficient way of storing and retrieving our information while complying with regulations is needed. With ApplicationXtender, AIS has finally found a highly efficient solution capable of handling huge amounts of electronic documents that efficiently and speedily stores and retrieves electronic data kept in the Write-Once—Read-Many (WORM) medium without worry of loosing any crucial information.
“In line with our information lifecycle management strategy, we are able to store scanned images of our customer records, employee records and legal documents on EMC Symmetrix DMX networked storage system for speedy retrieval. We then archive these information onto EMC Centera when they are no longer business critical but still need to be retained on a long-term basis for compliance purposes. This strategy has helped us enhance our customer responsiveness, and support our information access needs at over 120 AIS branches countrywide.
AIS’s information management infrastructure combines the Documentum ApplicationXtender document and image management suite with EMC DiskXtender?, a policy-based, filesystem-centric solution for Windows. Using DiskXtender, AIS can enforce permission-based access to content, ensuring sensitive information is safely protected. DiskXtender’s policy engine moves infrequently-accessed content to secondary storage devices to optimize costs and maximize efficiencies. With the EMC Symmetrix and Centera storage platforms, AIS has built a robust tiered storage infrastructure for its critical business content.
