Enterprise Content Management (ECM) describes a critical new segment in Information Technology. ECM is about the management of words— words that make up more than 90 percent of information in organizations today. Businesses are turning to ECM as the next major software productivity tool to effectively manage the explosion of digital content.
The second book in the trilogy, ECM Technology, provides what you need to know about ECM and describes the creation of a new approach to data by some of the greatest minds in the world of information technology— a collective vision determined to solve the challenge of managing structured and unstructured information.
Each chapter in the book focuses on a component technology of ECM, tracing their origins from early search technologies to ubiquitous computing, real-time collaboration and voice recognition.
60 companies lend their stories to this book to help illustrate the challenges associated with managing content and how ECM technologies help to resolve them. Companies such as:
HBO
Shell
Siemens
BT
