Hyland OnBasevs Callvu
Hyland OnBase is an enterprise content management platform with document capture, workflow, case management and records, now extended with AI agents on Hyland's Content Innovation Cloud. Callvu is the Completion and Compliance Layer: it runs the whole regulated process for you, from the customer's request through the back office to the core, deterministically, with compliance enforced at every step. OnBase can stay the content repository while Callvu runs the process around it.

The fair version
What Hyland OnBase is built for.Sourced from their own pages.
OnBase is Hyland's content management product: it captures and governs documents, automates content-centric workflows with forms and rules, runs case management and manages records retention [1]. Hyland is a Thoma Bravo portfolio company [2]. External users submit forms and documents through Hyland Content Portal, which feeds OnBase workflow [6], and WorkView provides low-code applications, as American National Bank of Texas used for treasury onboarding [5]. On the Content Innovation Cloud, Hyland Automate adds BPMN orchestration, low-code apps and a rules engine [8], Hyland IDP classifies and extracts documents with human verification [9], and Agent Builder lets teams build AI agents [11]; Hyland added further agentic capabilities, such as GL coding agents, in April 2026 [4]. The Enterprise Agent Mesh, announced in August 2025 [7] and generally available in June 2026, adds Control Tower to review, approve, pause and adjust agents and Agent Passport, which records each agent's identity, capabilities, guardrails and compliance status, along with Agentic Bank agents for underwriting and onboarding [10]. For banking, OnBase connects to Jack Henry SilverLake and Symitar Episys [3] and Corelation KeyStone [13]. At Wiener Privatbank, OnBase runs onboarding integrated with the core, allows only certain steps for each risk class and no longer lets team leaders override the process [12].
When to choose which
Two different jobs.Pick the one you need.
When to choose Hyland OnBase
Choose OnBase when the main need is an enterprise content and records platform: document capture, retention and case management around documents [1], with forms and low-code applications your team builds, as American National Bank of Texas did with WorkView [5]. It fits institutions already on Jack Henry or Corelation cores that want documents filed and governed across departments [3][13], and those that want to standardize document-centric workflows, such as the risk-class onboarding rules at Wiener Privatbank [12].
When to choose Callvu
Choose Callvu when you want the regulated process run for you, end to end. Callvu orchestrates the work, routes it by work type, skill and due date, applies rules and policies and manages every decision, and it runs the handoff in the same process with five moves: it prefills from what the core already knows, classifies each request the moment it lands, chases and verifies documents from customers and outside parties on a clock, routes decisions to the Decision Desk, and writes the result back to the core by API. Callvu builds it, trains your team and stays through launch and ongoing management.
Guardrails are not runtime enforcement. Hyland's Enterprise Agent Mesh adds Control Tower and Agent Passport to observe and govern AI agents, and its Agentic Bank agents work on underwriting and onboarding [10]. Guardrails limit and record what an AI does while it does the work. Even with guardrails, an AI that runs a step can write wrong data to the system of record, take a path that is not in the workflow, or act compliantly most of the time rather than every time. Callvu does not let AI run the process. A deterministic orchestrator executes every step of a defined workflow and enforces every control before the step runs; AI, yours or Callvu's, only starts a process or evaluates it. The system of record receives only what the workflow allows, and every run is recorded in a Decision Trace and an Audit Trace.
Choose Callvu, too, when time and services cost matter. OnBase solutions are built with low-code tools such as WorkView, as at American National Bank of Texas, where Hyland Professional Services helped migrate the documents [5]. Callvu's license includes white-glove design, implementation, maintenance and optimization for as long as it runs, with no separate services project, and Callvu goes live in a few weeks: PSEG Long Island went live in 4 weeks, and Phoenix Insurance integrated all core systems in 4 weeks.
Side by side
The verifiable facts.Nothing else.
Every cell about Hyland OnBase is sourced from its own public pages. Runtime enforcement and the handoff lead the table because they are where the two differ most.
| Capability |  | Hyland OnBase |
|---|---|---|
| Primary role | Completion and Compliance Layer between every front door and the system of record | Enterprise content management: capture, document workflow, case management and records [1] |
| Runtime compliance enforcement | Yes. A deterministic orchestrator runs every step; AI never runs the process. Every regulation and company policy is enforced on every step while the work runs, whether a person or an AI started it; a step that fails a control does not run. A Decision Trace and an Audit Trace for every run | Not a platform capability. Controls are configured into each workflow: at Wiener Privatbank, OnBase allows only certain steps for each risk class and team leaders can no longer override the process. That control covers the steps each workflow was built to check, not every regulation and company policy on every step [12] |
| Front-to-back-office handoff | Yes, end to end: prefill from the core, classify the work, chase and verify documents, route decisions to the Decision Desk and write back to the system of record. Back-office planning starts the moment the front end starts | Partial. Content Portal web forms, uploads and status tracking feed OnBase workflow, and Agentic Bank agents prepare lending applications for underwriters. Prefill of portal forms from the core and chasing documents from customers and third parties on a clock are not documented [6] |
| Orchestration, routing, rules and decisioning | Yes: workflow orchestration, routing by work type, skill and due date, rules and policies, and human decisions in the Decision Desk, built by Callvu | Yes: OnBase workflow and case management; Hyland Automate adds BPMN orchestration and a rules engine [8] |
| AI guardrails vs deterministic execution | Deterministic execution, not guardrails: AI never runs the process. A deterministic orchestrator executes every step and enforces every control before it runs, so nothing unchecked reaches the system of record and no step outside the workflow can happen | Enterprise Agent Mesh adds Control Tower and Agent Passport to observe and govern AI agents; Agentic Bank agents support underwriting and onboarding [10] |
| Document processing | Requests each missing item from the right party on a clock, reads it on arrival (OCR) and checks it against what the case needs: right form, signatures, dates | Hyland IDP for classification, extraction and validation with human verification [9] |
| Core banking integrations | Fiserv, FIS, Jack Henry, CSI, Corelation (KeyStone), Finastra and lending systems such as nCino and MeridianLink; more added per customer | Jack Henry SilverLake and Symitar Episys through jXchange and symXchange; Hyland joined the Jack Henry fintech integration network in October 2026 [3] |
| Deployment and professional services | White-glove design, implementation, maintenance and optimization included in the license, for as long as it runs; no separate services project. Live in a few weeks: PSEG Long Island went live in 4 weeks, and Phoenix Insurance integrated all core systems in 4 weeks | Built with low-code tools such as WorkView, as at American National Bank of Texas, with Hyland Professional Services helping on document migration [5] |
Using both together
Keep what works.Add the layer that finishes it.
OnBase can stay the content and records repository. Callvu runs the customer request and the handoff around it, then files the completed, checked documents and the record of who did what to OnBase and the core by API. Where you do not run a separate workflow platform, Callvu runs the whole process on its own.
Proof
Live in production.At regulated enterprises.
