Traditional or Premises-based ECM Product Offerings
The terms used to describe this technology include: Content Management, Document Management, Imaging, etc. Since modern systems manage all manner of electronic documents, a generic term, “content,” is probably most applicable. Enterprise Content Management (ECM) represents a vision and a framework for implementing a broad range of content management technologies and for extracting higher value from disparate content formats throughout an entire “enterprise.” An enterprise system may be provided by a single vendor in a comprehensive suite, or via the integration or “federation” of multiple brands.
Content Management is a critical technology that helps organizations manage documents and other unstructured data, such as scanned images, faxes, photographs, drawings, eForms, XML components, video clips, and e-mail messages. Content management vendors provide a varying degree of functionality, ranging from integrated process-centric applications to basic content services (BCS).
In-house implementations of CM have been the dominant form of application delivery since the technology’s inception in the late 1980’s. Applications have been available for mainframe computers and a variety of other servers. Because of the sophistication of the user-facing application and the need for multi-window control, client-server implementations have typically been used. In recent years, web-based clients have become more popular, especially for casual users, due to the ease of installation and support.
Due to past investments in ECM technology infrastructure and applications, and preference, many organizations will continue to use in-house systems. For these customers, Cloud ECM Solutions can still be a valuable business partner. Cloud ECM professionals have been implementing in-house systems for many years, and have deep experience with the leading vendors: IBM, IBM FileNet and Kofax. We provide a complete range of services, including certified installations, for these products.
