Enterprise Content Management Technology: What You Need to Know

by Tom Jenkins

Authored by Tom Jenkins, the book explores the quality controls and productivity enhancements experienced when an organization uses the latest in secure Internet technology to deploy an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution. As a market, Enterprise Content Management (ECM) represents a critical new stage in the advance of the information age. It describes both a philosophical approach and the underlying technologies used to help businesses transform their content into competitive advantage. Enterprise Content What you need to know focuses on another topical area of concern for organizations in many corporate governance and regulatory compliance. Recent legislation (such as Sarbanes-Oxley, the Patriot Act and Basel II compliance) will affect many organizations throughout the world and has placed governance at the top of management agenda. In a business climate that demands structure and control, ECM creates a safe and transparent environment for organizations to foster innovation and growth. ECM leverages the power of the Internet to transform the way people interact. It creates secure and regulated environments, ensuring that protected content remains behind closed doors. At the same time, ECM unlocks the true potential of the enterprise by enabling people to transform content into knowledge, creating new possibilities and business opportunities. Enterprise Content What you need to know is a must-read for executives interested in managing content to achieve compliance, improve productivity, and foster innovation and future growth.

Very generic and overall information on ECM and the following - Search, Knowledge Management, Document Management, Archiving, Web Content Management, Enterprise Application Extensions, Collaborate Applications, Portals, Digital Asset Management and Implementation. Nice user stories and some colorful pictures but not very in depth. If you don't know what anything about those terms, this book will help - if you have an idea than this book will just serve as a refresher.

Many borrowed ideas, illustrations and buzzwords surrounded by selective case studies.

Save yourself some money and don't buy this one, get these instead:

Content Management Bible by Boiko
