Enterprise Content Management: The cost

March 11th, 2009 by Jamie Chapman in eForm-Connect

The cost of an Enterprise Conent Management Solution (ECM) can be defined by the cost of not implementing one. Confusing?  Well take this into consideration. What kind of cost is your company going to face when you have poor content management from not implementing a solution. Companies can face litigation fees, loss of repeated business, and business process delays which ultimately hurt the bottom line. By implementing an Enterprise Content Management System you may spend some money up front but your overall ROI will be great.

To enhance your overall ROI. Follow some simple guidelines when selecting and implementing a Solution.

1.) Authenticity - Make sure you have an audit trail and can track who last touched the document.

2.) Reliability - Make sure the documentation is reliable and has been compiled by those involved in the business.

3.) Integrity - Keep documents until the appropriate destruction date. Keep retention consistent.

4.) Usability - Make sure that documentation is available when needed.
