THE ECM EXPERTS

Enterprise Content Management

 

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is a framework of practices and  technologies that work in an integrated fashion across the organisation to manage information.

 

ECM should be established organisation-wide, managing all types of content throughout its lifecycle, from origin through to processing, sharing, retaining and finally disposal. Any information where an organisation would derive benefit through its management is applicable to ECM.


ECM should be considered by any organisation wishing to achieve organisational objectives that have a dependency on content, these goals should provide the driver for ECM. Such objectives can be categorised in one, if not all, of the following broad categories: 

  • Operational efficiency 
  • Competitive advantage
  • Demonstration of compliance and risk reduction  
  • Support for legal discovery

ECM: Not Just Compliance
ECM technologies will underpin the compliance strategy of every organisation, from financial services through to public sector. But organisations should beware the lure of a compliance-only route.

Turning Data Into Business Value
Far too many organisations that have deployed ECM believe they have achieved effective knowledge management. They haven’t. Putting in place a good content management infrastructure and search capability undoubtedly delivers business value and propagates corporate information. But that does not on its own deliver on a true joined up knowledge management strategy.
