ECM System Development

Enterprise content management (ECM) is a formalized means of organizing and storing an organization's documents, and other content, that relate to the organization's processes. It is the strategies, methods and tools used to capture, manage, store, preserve, and deliver content and documents related to organizational processes. ECM covers the management of information within the entire scope of an enterprise whether that information is in the form of a paper document, an electronic file, a database print stream, or even an email.

ECM can be broken down into five major components called capture, manage, store, reserve and deliver. The purpose of each component can be briefly defined as follows:

• Capture: Create, obtain and organize information.
• Manage: Process, modify and employ information.
• Store: Temporarily back up frequently changing information in the short term.
• Preserve: Back up infrequently changing information in the medium and long term.
• Deliver: Provide clients and end users with requested information.

An effective ECM can streamline access, eliminate bottlenecks, optimize security, maintain integrity and minimize overhead. The first step is to document all the types of content that the organization deals with, the business processes. its part of and who handles it. ECM software tools can be used to identify duplicate and near-duplicate content, allowing the organization to keep a few copies of a particular piece of content instead of hundreds.
