Information Governance in a world of increasing complexity

A new generation of Content Services is changing ECM. But what are they and how do they help your organisation?

Many organisations face ever-increasing volumes of information. This information is used both internally and externally with different stakeholders, and in a variety of ways. Information users increasingly have specific requirements for customisable interfaces and workflows. This means the implementation of a monolithic ECM platform for overriding control of content seems at odds with reality.

In practice, a ‘one size fits all’ ECM approach has become complex and cumbersome. This is because it is not the capture, storage, and management of content that is at stake. It is how users gain access to the information they need, when and where they need it, and in a format that’s the best for them. Enter the next generation of ECM also known as Content Services.

Next generation Enterprise Content Management

Content Services is often described as the next generation of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions.  If previous ECM solutions have allowed the capture, management, and storage of content through the organisation, then content services extend that to improve information sharing, automation, collaboration, and analytics.

It’s important to realise that Content Services don’t replace ECM. Rather they shift the focus to the user and enhance the value of those systems by integrating new capabilities in a platform’s applications and components.

The intelligently connected Enterprise

ECM is no longer only the domain of Records Management and Compliance teams. By connecting content from digital workspaces to digital business productivity, organisations can bridge silos and streamline business processes. By extending ECM capabilities into business processes & applications, content services can accelerate user productivity, improve governance and drive digital transformation.
