Ecm research
ECM (Enterprise content management ) - is a set of technologies used to capture, store, preserve and deliver content and documents and content related to organizational processes. ECM tools allow the management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information exists.
ECM employed the technologies and strategies of content management to address business process issues, such as records and auditing, knowledge sharing, personalization and standardization of content, and so on.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Document and Records Management:
Controlling Information Risk and Aiding Compliance" report to their
offering. Many early Document and Records Management (DRM) deployments
were rolled out at the departmental level as point solutions to address
a single issue. Now these organisations are extending their deployments
enterprisewide to address compliance requirements or to deliver an
integrated information management strategy.
Regulatory compliance, competitive pressures, and falling hardware and software prices are causing SMBs to increase their reliance on technology beyond traditional office solutions such as Microsoft Office and accounting products. In fact, according to the research firm Gartner, SMBs are expected to spend an estimated $400 billion on technology this year as a result of these and other drivers. One technology initiative that is at the top of the list for many SMBs is ECM system implementation. Used with permission from Integrated Solutions magazine

Some interesting news: "A recent AMR Research survey of 271 companies using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems shows that 46% of licensed ERP 'seats' are currently unused." Most of the excess seats apparently represent an overhang from the go-go days. Replace "ERP" with "ECM" and you could be talking about present-day content management licenses. Vendors want to lock themselves in as your standard platform for myriad use-cases. But ECM really plays out as a series of discrete business projects. My advice: disregard volume discounts and buy seats incrementally; then work with your vendor(s) to make sure that each new project is successful. You'll save money in the long run.
Today we released of the ECM Suites Report. It evaluates 30 Enterprise Content Management vendors from 5 continents (yes, the marketplace is international). One of the report's more interesting findings was the extent of dislocation today among major vendors. From our press release: Some of the biggest Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Suite vendors are experiencing the most change right now, and therefore, customers' erstwhile "safest" bets might also carry significant near-term risks. A special thanks goes out to the scores of customers and consultants who contributed to our research.
