Whitepaper “ Business Value of SharePoint for ECM”
The Business Value of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 – Enterprise Content Management.
We strongly recommend this paper to those considering implementing an ECM system in their organisation. It details the challenges faced when implementing an ECM system and how the new release of SharePoint 2010 tackles these issues.
Executive Summary
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) has become a key business priority for most organizations. The amount of business information created and shared is increasing in size and speed every day, government compliance requirements are becoming more stringent, and key business tasks require accurate and fast access to records, documents, and other information. Without content management, information becomes chaos “ unmanaged, not searchable, and processes rely more on employee institutional memory than technology”. Additionally, users waste time looking for or recreating documents and information, and businesses may pay penalties for documents and information that are accidentally lost or released publicly.
Most business executives recognize the need for a robust ECM solution, but most traditional ECM offerings only provide comprehensive, mission-critical content management designed for a small set of users (working with a team, department, or content type) and focus on security and compliance over usability and collaboration. Enterprise Content Management with Microsoft ® SharePoint ® Server 2010 delivers both a high quality solution that stimulates and delivers user participation, and the tools for highly secure, well-managed content.
SharePoint Server 2010 enables companies to democratize content management and improve organizations by providing content management to all employees and compliance across all documents. This leads to better, faster, and more secure processes that can be managed through a familiar environment, integrated into business collaboration infrastructure, and built on a trusted and extensible platform. With ECM in SharePoint Server, you can:
- Drive participation – Avoid chaos and end-user resistance
- Ensure Compliance – Avoid risk by controlling unmanaged content, including Social content
- Save Costs – Avoid high costs of point solutions, especially where not needed.
