Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
Enterprise content management is the overarching term used to describe tools and processes implemented to efficiently capture, manage, integrate, measure and store information.
Some people believe the term ECM is outdated.
“ECM is now dead (kaput, finite, an ex-market name), at least in how Gartner defines the market. It’s been replaced by the term Content Services, a strategic concept that covers three aspects, namely Content Services Applications, Platforms and Components,” says Michael Woodbridge, the Research Director at Gartner.
Here are some thoughts on the matter from Requordit President and CEO Mark Buckley:
“Imagine if for the last 10 years you have proudly worked to develop your skills to be an ECM, ARMA or XYZ practitioner. You have invested time and energy in becoming the best in whatever designation you or your organization deemed deeply important in the ECM space. Is all your training now worthless? Are the billions spent on trying to install ECM now viewed as an acceptable mistake by CIOs and IT directors around the globe? I say no! This industry has more relevant value now than ever before. Due to emerging integration standards and new technology tools, we are starting to see solutions deployed in record time. The future of ECM is bright.”
