Business Process - the Future of ECM
6 likes5,964 views
The document discusses why past ECM implementations often failed and argues that integrating ECM with business processes can help overcome these challenges. It notes that ECM projects commonly struggled with user adoption, failed to provide measurable ROI, and lacked strategic importance. However, the document argues that by connecting ECM to "master applications" that drive key business processes, ECM can provide value by supporting important processes, inheriting metadata to improve findability, and delivering a measurable ROI through more efficient processes. Integrating ECM in this way addresses historic challenges and positions ECM as the backbone for managing unstructured content across an organization.
