Structure and unify documentation across all schools.

Colleges of Excellence is a leading Saudi Arabian company providing technical and professional training services. It connects the best local and international education providers with funding agencies, labor market regulators, and employers across public and private sectors.

The challenge.

CoE needed to structure and unify documentation across all its schools — spanning administrative, communication, and management domains. The existing setup relied on Windows network file shares, making document access fragmented, permissions unmanageable, and search non-existent.

CoE chose the Nuxeo platform to address these challenges and engaged Velion (via Nuxeo/Hyland) for the full deployment.

Nuxeo LTS 2019

Deployed on CoE's cloud infrastructure. The core platform for document storage, classification, search, and access governance.

PostgreSQL 11

Relational database backend for metadata, user management, and audit records.

ElasticSearch 6

Full-text search engine enabling fast document retrieval across all campuses and domains.

Shared Storage

Centralized binary storage replacing fragmented Windows network shares.

From network drives to a governed document platform.

A complete deployment — from target architecture design to data migration, configuration, and ongoing support.

01

Target Architecture

Designed the full Nuxeo architecture — server topology, storage layer, search indexing, permission model — tailored to CoE's multi-campus, multi-domain structure.

02

Installation & Configuration

Deployed and configured the Nuxeo platform on CoE's cloud infrastructure. Custom document types, folder structures, metadata schemas, and workspace templates for each domain.

03

Data Migration

Full migration from Windows network shares. Documents extracted, classified, and imported into the Nuxeo platform with metadata preservation and access rights mapping.

04

Permissions & Security

Fine-grained permission management ensuring document confidentiality. Role-based access for internal staff and external users, with full audit trail on every action.

05

Nuxeo Drive

Deployed Nuxeo Drive for seamless desktop synchronization — users deposit, access, and edit documents as if working on a local drive, with everything synced to the platform.

06

Support & Maintenance

CoE subscribed to the Nuxeo Platform Support offer. Ongoing monitoring, regular updates, and maintenance to guarantee availability, security, and performance.

A unified workspace for all schools.

Internal and external CoE stakeholders now operate within a single, governed document platform covering all administrative, communication, and management documentation.

Documents

Deposit, classify, organize, search, consult.

All school documentation is centralized in Nuxeo. Users can deposit, classify, organize, search, and consult documents from a single workspace — replacing fragmented network shares.

Governance

Fine-grained permissions and full audit trail.

Role-based access control ensures document confidentiality. Every access is logged via the audit trail — a critical guarantee for CoE when exposing documents to external users.

Continuity

Ongoing support since 2021.

CoE subscribed to the Platform Support offer — continuous monitoring, regular platform updates, and proactive maintenance to ensure availability and security over time.
