Administration & Maintenance

Administration & Maintenance with Serie M/

Customer communication management does not end with the implementation of a platform. Templates are updated, communication channels expanded, regulatory requirements addressed, and new teams onboarded. As complexity grows, so does the challenge of implementing changes in a controlled, transparent, and efficient way.

Serie M/ supports the long-term maintainability of your customer communication processes through centralized administration, clearly defined responsibilities, and controlled change management.

Five building blocks for long-term maintainability

The maintainability of a CCM platform is not determined by individual features, but by how resources are managed, changes are implemented, and responsibilities are organized. Serie M/ is based on five principles that together provide the foundation for customer communication processes that remain manageable over the long term.

01 Managing resources in a structured way

A growing communication landscape requires structure. That is why resources within Serie M/ are organized and managed centrally.
These resources include document templates, graphics, data sources, mappings, metadata, processing workflows, output channels, and transfer definitions. A consistent resource model ensures that dependencies remain transparent and changes can be implemented in a controlled manner.

02 Taking a declarative approach to change

Rather than developing individual solutions for specific use cases, Serie M/ follows a declarative approach. Communication resources are defined as structured objects, managed centrally, and evolved through defined processes.
This makes changes easier to implement consistently, easier to track, and easier to maintain over time. Graphical editors support editing activities and provide a common working environment for both technical and non-technical users.

03 Clearly separating roles and responsibilities

Not every task within a communication platform requires the same tools or the same permissions. That is why Serie M/ supports different roles within a shared platform architecture.
Administrators are responsible for the platform, resources, and governance. Template designers create layouts, rules, and data mappings. Operators monitor production processes and ensure the reliable operation of the communication platform.

04 Versioning and staging for controlled change management

Customer communication processes evolve continuously. That is why Serie M/ supports controlled approaches to versioning, staging, and deployment.
Changes can be versioned, reviewed, and approved before they are moved into production. Repositories, staging environments, and automated processes support the controlled management of updates and releases.

05 Governance throughout the entire lifecycle

Long-term maintainability depends on transparent processes. Every change to communication resources follows a defined lifecycle, from editing and review through to production deployment. This ensures full traceability at all times, including which version is in use, what changes have been made, and how resources have progressed through approval and deployment stages.

Developing the right governance strategy together

Every organization follows its own processes for approvals, responsibilities, and deployment. Together, we analyze role concepts, governance requirements, and operational processes to develop the right administration and maintenance strategy for your use of Serie M/.
