Enterprise Content Management

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is used to Capture, Manage, Store, Preserve, and Deliver content and documents related to organizational processes. Enterprise Content Management can enable you to efficiently manage the capture, storage, security, revision control, retrieval, distribution, and preservation of both content and any type of document. An enterprise content management system (ECMS) is not an optional expense, it is essential to ensure content preservation and re-usability, and the control of access to content. ECM tools and strategies allow the management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information exists.

The need for Enterprise Content Management

Some of the most common reasons that make content management imperative:
  • Unstructured, ad-hoc content creation leads to chaos
  • Content creation should not be tied to content presentation
  • Protection of restricted content while distributing to relevant people
  • Co-authoring digital content is difficult
  • Inability to Track changes made by multiple authors

  • Document Management

  • Workflow/Business Process Management (BPM)
NVISH-ECM is used to overcome the restrictions of formal vertical applications and island architecture. NVISH-ECM offers the requisite infrastructure for the new world of Web-based IT, which is establishing itself as kind of third platform alongside conventional host and client/server system.

NVISH-ECM manages information without regard to the source or the required use. The functionality is provided as a service that can be used from all kinds of applications. The advantage of a service concept is that for any given functionality only one general service is available, thus avoiding redundant, expensive and difficult to maintain parallel functions.

ECM is used as a content warehouse that combines company information in a repository with a uniform structure. Expensive redundancies and associated problems with the information consistency are eliminated. All applications deliver their content to a single repository, which in turn provides needed information to all applications.

NVISH-ECM technologies are infrastructures that support specialized applications as subordinate services. ECM thus is a collection of infrastructure components that fit into a multi-layer model and include all Document Related Technologies (DRT) for handling, delivering, and managing structured data and unstructured information jointly. So, Enterprise Content Management is one of the necessary basic components of the overarching E-Business application area. NVISH-ECM also sets out to manage all the information of a WCM and covers archiving needs as a universal repository.
