Enterprise Content Management

ENTERPRISE DOCUMENT & CONTENT MANAGEMENT

Enterprise content management is characterised by the combination of document management and content management (CMS) tools. ECM increases the effectiveness of your organisation by offering your employees a practical and effective solution for creating, finding and using information – whether it is structured or not, or included in a document or not.

In order for your employees can exchange and effectively use information that under pins their activities, we suggest using open source tools that have proved themselves to be effective such as Alfresco, Nuxeo or eZ publish.

Using these tools, you manage your information globally : management of a document’s lifecycle following business processes, management of user profiles, categorisation of information etc.

ECM (Enterprise Content Management) can be described as the convergence point between two families of IT tools:

• CMS (Content Management System), originally designed to manage the production and publication of structured content, for internet or intranet sites ;
• Document management system for handling, storing, organising, searching and consulting documents containing information that is not necessarily structured.

The benefit of an ECM solution for your organisation is that you are using a single tool to manage all your information:

• precise management of workflows and versioning enables you to control each stage of a document’s or content’s lifecycle – production, validation, distribution, storage or removal – by taking into account the business procedures of the company.
• Management of your users’ roles and identities enables you to precisely coordinate and control the production and use of each type of information, improving the security and reliability of your organisation.
• Manual or automatic categorisation – using metadata – content and/or documents have the advantage of offering different ways of accessing the same information, whilst making it easier to store and search.
• ECM solutions can also be used for collaborative work within virtual spaces, or for feeding and populating a knowledge management system.
