Conserve and exploit efficiently the knowledge that organizations build, has become one of the differential values of any company. But let's start from the beginning…
What is ECM?
Enterprise Content Management are the strategies, methods and tools used to collect, manage, store, preserve and deliver content or documents related to organizational processes.
Why is it so important in organizations?
Currently, organizations generate a lot of daily unstructured content which according to different studies represents about the 80% of corporate information, and is growing between 65% and 200% per year, depending on each sector. If this content is not managed properly the user won’t be able to find information that can be useful to carry out their work, causing an increased time of decision making which leads to a loss of efficiency resulting in loss of money.
In short, having a tool that enables content management allows organizations to make decisions more quickly, ensuring better efficiency.
Enterprise Social Networks are a technological tool to share knowledge and enhance both business communication, and participation of individual employees, improving productivity and increasing collaboration towards innovation. Sounds great, no?
What business solutions exist for ECM?
To obtain an answer to this question we can use the Magic Quadrant by Gartner Group.
The chart is divided into four parts where the most important companies in the market are classified based on their type and the type of products. This classification is made according to two basic parameters: the ability of players to anticipate and adapt to market needs, and the ability of players to develop and commercialize solutions.
Given the positioning of Microsoft and its stability in recent years in the Magic Quadrant, it helps us understand why SharePoint is one of the most efficient solutions. A future bet that guarantees continuous product improvement to ensure the proper functioning of the changing market needs.
