It's not just digital information and content that business customers
have to manage on a daily basis. Printed information, such as business
documents, e-mails, graphics and presentations, creates content management
challenges for businesses of all sizes -- and creates an opportunity
for solution providers who offer enterprise content management (ECM)
products and services.
At its core, ECM employs workflow strategies, scanning and archiving
methods, and a combination of software and hardware tools to capture,
store, manage, preserve and deliver information across an organization.
As the amount of content created in today's digital workplace skyrockets,
ECM is becoming a critical strategic practice for most organizations,
once they are introduced to the concept.
ECM increases worker productivity, reduces legal risk exposure by
assisting in regulatory compliance, and reduces overall business costs
and waste by organizing a company's digital records, data and business
documents. Solution providers with successful ECM practices find they
can deploy ECM on top of customers' existing printing, scanning, storage
and networking infrastructure. This approach preserves the customers'
technology investments while adding efficiency to their content management
processes. This approach also allows solution providers to build out
an ECM implementation from any point in the ECM solution -- at the
printer, fax, storage, scanner or networking level.
"Solution providers can help customers tame their electronic
and paper content with enterprise content management solutions." |
