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.

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
