What is an ODMZ file

ODMZ files mostly belong to OnBase. An ODMZ file is a compressed archive used by the OnBase document management system, developed by Hyland Software. It typically contains a collection of documents and related metadata, often used for archiving and retrieval within an enterprise content management (ECM) context. The internal structure of an ODMZ file is based on the ZIP format, allowing for efficient storage and transfer of potentially large volumes of data. While the ODMZ extension is primarily associated with OnBase, it's important to note that other software or custom applications might also utilize this extension for their own compressed archive purposes. Therefore, encountering an ODMZ file doesn't guarantee its compatibility with OnBase. Further investigation might be necessary to determine the exact nature and origin of a specific ODMZ file.
