What Is AppEnhancer?
OpenText AppEnhancer is the leading enterprise content management (ECM) software for small and medium-sized businesses. It further enhances business processes by taking your content and transforming it into actionable information.
Two common deployments of AppEnhancer are to streamline accounts payable (AP) and new employee onboarding along with other HR functions. Once established in one department, many organizations then deploy the software in others to leverage the initial investment, share the costs, and optimize processes on a greater scale.
How Does AppEnhancer Work?
AppEnhancer “enhances your app” by adding document management as well as workflow automation to your back-end core system. It 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 apply retention scheduling over the life of each document.
With AppEnhancer, your team can seamlessly manage documents within your main “app” – whether you use accounting software, enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, a loan origination system (LOS), electronic medical/health record (EMR/EHR) system, or other back-end software.

MetaSource is the largest distributor of OpenText AppEnhancer in North America, enabling and supporting AppEnhancer value-added resellers (VARs).
