Document Management Software: Departmental Footprint, Enterprise-Ready
Known more commonly as “ACM,” OpenText’s Application Content Management is the leading document management software application for small and medium-sized businesses on the market.
ACM is also scalable so that it can help you achieve the previously elusive promise of enterprise content management (ECM) for organizations of all sizes – for a fraction of the price of other document management software.
ACM is commonly deployed to streamline accounts payable (AP) or new employee onboarding and other HR functions. Once established in one department, many organizations then deploy ACM in other departments to leverage the initial investment and share the costs. ACM is also ideal for streamlining the loan boarding process in the mortgage industry, and a host of other applications across many industries.
How Does Application Content Management Work?
ACM “extends your app” by adding document management as well as workflow automation to your back-end core system. This means that your team can manage documents within your main “app,” whether you use accounting software, enterprise resource planning (ERP), a loan origination system (LOS), electronic medical/health record software (EMR/EHR), or other back-end software. Our wide network of ACM resellers have extensive experience integrating ACM into these and other systems, including homegrown software.
In a nutshell, Application Content Management allows you to scan documents, capture email and attachments, store them in a database, establish the right access per user and document, quickly search and retrieve them, and to apply retention scheduling over the life of each document.
If you haven’t seen ACM in awhile, you’ll be amazed at how intuitive and easy its interface now is. See all version and end-of-service-life (EOSL) history here.

What Is the Role of MetaSource with OpenText and ACM?
MetaSource is the only distributor of Application Content Management in North America for OpenText, meaning that we enable and support ACM value-added resellers (VARs).
Our team has worked with ACM since its inception with OTG in the early 1990s. We now work with OpenText, which acquired ACM from Dell EMC, and provide input into ACM’s ongoing development.
MetaSource even offers powerful ACM add-ons, like Foxit file compression software, which allows you to compress, access, edit, normalize, share and archive PDFs seamlessly.
We’re also one of the largest users of ACM in our business process outsourcing (BPO) operation, and we’ve also developed “Cloud ACM” that we call MetaStor.
