Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is the strategies, methods and tools used to capture, manage, store, preserve, and deliver content and documents related to your organisational processes.
ECM tools and strategies allow the management of your unstructured information, wherever that information exists.

If your organisation is considering a transition to ECM, it may be helpful for you to consider the following six questions.
1. Will the ECM system be easy to use?
2. Will it integrate with my existing software?
3. What factors should I consider in terms of ECM functionality?
- Indexing and retrieval
- Workflow
- A web-based system
- Scalability
- Automation of retention and destruction schedules
4. How will the system support my compliance requirements
5. Does the ECM solution offer suitable security, system monitoring, and reporting options?
6. Does my supplier truly understand my needs?
