Managing Content in the Cloud - Enterprise Content Management 2.0

by Tom Jenkins

In recent years, cloud computing as a service for outsourcing data storage, applications and infrastructure has become more prevalent. Many questions exist around cloud computing and different types of software are being offered as cloud solutions, including Enterprise Content Management (ECM) software.

Today's enterprise is tasked with managing diverse content types across multiple repositories, applications, devices and platforms. Enterprise Content Management (ECM) 2.0 is the secure management of content types from social networks, blogs, wikis and other Web 2.0 technologies across the enterprise and in the Cloud. As society demands higher standards for the accuracy and availability of content, ECM 2.0 delivers the underlying platform required to securely manage all content types from user-generated content in social networks to data contained in ERP systems.

This book illustrates all the component technologies inherent in an ECM 2.0 system. It describes how enterprise technologies tools paved the way for the adoption of text mining, 3D rendering and immersive environments, mobile access to content and the Semantic Web. Managing Content in the Cloud demonstrates how organizations can optimize the flow of content across the organization to improve productivity, mitigate risk and increase organizational agility.
