Customer Communications Experience (CCX)

OpenText Exstream

OpenText Exstream through Canon IMS: customer communications management for high volumes and complex, regulated communication, batch and on demand.

Built for scale and complexity

OpenText Exstream centralises the production of all customer communication for organisations where a single letter can have hundreds of legally distinct variants and volumes run into millions, such as insurers, banks and utilities. It draws directly on policy, claims and billing systems, and delivers across print and digital channels, in batch, on demand and interactively.

The Communicate layer of the Canon Information Orchestration Framework

Canon organises information management in four movements: Capture, Content, Communicate and Process. OpenText Exstream works in the Communicate layer: it turns data from core systems into compliant, personalised communication across every channel.

Canon’s CCX approach: every message designed, orchestrated and measured as part of the customer experience.

One template, hundreds of compliant variants

Content branches by product, region and customer status inside one template, instead of hundreds of separate templates. Changes are made once and applied everywhere, which keeps regulated communication consistent and controllable.

Millions of documents on schedule

Exstream processes production runs at the scale insurers and utilities need, on fixed nightly or batch schedules, and draws straight from core systems so every letter matches the record.

Interactive and on-demand when the moment requires it

A call centre agent or claims handler can trigger a fully composed, compliant document in the moment, instead of routing a request to a production queue.

Knowledge that stays in the organisation

Template and rule knowledge often sits with one or two specialists. Nokavision, a Canon IMS competence centre, trains teams in Exstream Fundamentals, Storyteller and Framework, so expertise is spread instead of concentrated.

Nokavision is an OpenText Platinum Partner and received the OpenText Partner Navigator Champion award in 2024, reflecting both delivery quality and joint success with customers.

Where it fits

OpenText Exstream is our choice at the top end of scale and complexity, often for organisations already running Exstream that want to modernise or consolidate. For any-prem CCM with strong business-user control, Quadient Inspire Suite is an alternative; for interactive, two-way conversations, SmartCOMM.
