What is Enterprise Content Management (ECM)?

Have you ever saved a Word document to a file share in a labyrinth of folders and then can’t find it later? Then you spend 20 minutes initiating an unindexed search across the 8,500 documents within that file share or trawl aimlessly through the complex multi-layered file structure. This productivity loss can be eliminated with an ECM Solution.

Do you ever wonder why your organisation bought one particular product over another seemingly compelling alternative? You know what it cost because that is in the finance system – but why? Maybe ask the old guy in the corner office in the hope that he can remember. The analysis or cost benefit document can be linked to that transaction with an ECM solution.

Have you got thousands of suppliers who send their invoices to you by email, fax or mail offering discounts for prompt payment? If you could only get it in to your finance system quickly and without errors whilst also validating and approving it by the originating purchase. ECM solutions can do that for you.

WindowLogic's Strategic ECM Consulting offering is based on past experience in implementing the various ECM suites. If your organisation is yet to embark on implementing ECM solutions or your existing solution is losing traction with your business users we can build a program of work that solves those problems.

We can provide advice on how to build a business case for implementing ECM. Read the white paper on Implementing Knowledge Management
