Importance Of A Good Enterprise Content Management System

By Loris F. Anders


When it comes to managing employees and company processes, there are several options. One of which includes an enterprise content management system. In doing so, employers can save a great deal of time and money when using such a system for employee management and other areas. In most cases, these systems can be used to protect employee data, company records, documentation and production control.

ECM systems or ECMS have evolved over time with new applications which eliminate steps necessary when using older systems. For, each time data is manipulated, new information is generated. In some cases, this information is automatically generated to show why and how such data is being manipulated. Newer systems also have the capability of accessing corporate tax data, networking, routing, searching pathways and establishing new filters as a result of data manipulation.

Some other ways in which ECM is used include providing intranet access to employees for use in data sharing. While akin to documentation management systems of the past, most companies have now converted those systems to ECM based operations. Whereas, digital asset management can also be a form of ECM in relation to stored content which use digital technology.

Historically, ECM is a descendant of electronic document management systems of the past. While this is the case, original versions of the products only focused on four areas, document storage, workflow, imaging and environmental resources management. As such, there have been a number of enhancements since these original versions.

Most databases use smaller scale documentation and workflow systems and are often focused on one department. Whereas, newer systems generally operate on a company wide basis. In addition, earlier versions were developed to save time and money while reducing paper and paper storage. Whereas, newer systems have been designed and developed to aid in managing employees, company projects and resources.

Managing data electronically did not gain popularity with companies for quite some time. Prior to that, EMS only had the capability to provide access to information which had previously been on microfilm, microfiche or paper. Once the process became popular, companies starting using ECM systems on a regular basis, in large part due to the identification processes, production control capabilities and enhanced security measures.

Over the course of time, interest in ECM and EDM have grown as companies have become more productive while using these systems. In addition, it has now become evident that different versions are compatible. For, most businesses have some type of environmental resources, imaging, workflow and documentation which need to be managed. While this is the case, the newest ECM systems can provide information from all these areas by placing one rather than several requests.
