Choosing Governance Based Enterprise Content Management

Few organizations today are prepared to handle the exponential growth in the volume, velocity, and variety of their enterprise data. Fewer still are equipped to manage and account for that data and make the resulting records accessible to the organization as a whole. While information governance is a well established practice among government entities, it has typically not compelled private sector organizations to invest in OpenText Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems.

This is changing, however. A 2015 survey conducted by AIIM revealed that 53% of companies surveyed now have new information governance initiatives in place, driven by a variety of factors ranging from compliance to data loss prevention.

A governance-based ECM allows organizations to:

■ Manage content across the information lifecycle

■ Ensure the authenticity, reliability, and integrity of documents and records

■ Deliver content to authorized users across a range of devices

■ Access, share, and use content in a secure, managed environment

■ Establish rules and processes so governance and records functions are managed transparently

■ Overcome storage and access constraints to content

■ Transition from the confines of paper to the flexibility and freedom of digital

■ Leverage search technologies, links, and relationships for greater collaboration and context
