Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is a combination of many Content related services and not a singular technology or process. The primary focus of our ECM solution is to maximize the value of your existing and future content repositories and content based applications. We realize that large investments have already been made in content related application and services and those investments can be utilized in many different ways. So we don’t just recommend consolidation but we largely recommend thinking about converging the various content repositories and content applications.

The core component of an ECM is a Content Management System (CMS). A CMS contains the ability to collect and aggregate content, manage, and deploy production ready content. These steps have been around since the printing press; however; unique challenges are introduced when you implement these steps on the web and in an Enterprise.

• Empower business users to manage their own content for faster changes with less process overhead
• Reuse content across business applications and sites to drive consistency and lower publishing costs
• Enforce Web governance standards by keeping auditable copies of all websites throughout time, while improving the transparency of your business processes
• Consolidate Enterprise content repositories
• Improve and enforce your security
