Five Ideas:
Content Management
August 2009
“One of the challenges in recent years that ECM systems have faced is the explosion of content. Web and Enterprise 2.0 systems have lowered the bar to participation on and with the web...organizations agree (in theory if not in practice) that such content must be managed. If not for competitive advantage and intellectual capital purposes then for compliance, risk, and governance purposes. Yet too many CIOs and IT managers try to short cut the strategic necessity and adopt a short term approach. "—Billy Cripe, director, Enterprise 2.0 & ECM Product Manager
“With people storing sensitive documents out in the cloud networks, it is even more important that any security affects the document itself, not the place of storage."—IRM's Simon Thorpe
“The consolidation of content silos into a single, strategic content management system and the integration of strategic content management systems into business processes and applications will be the two biggest issues for enterprise content management in the next 12 months." —Andy MacMillan, VP of product management
“When we look at the ROI for document management, it can be measured in lots of different ways, usually about speeding processes that require a lot of document lookup, like accounts payable processing or call centers. But better than those ROI are the case of green efforts, where we really focus on three areas: Reduce paper costs, reduce shipping costs and reduce storage costs." —Brian Dirking, Principal Product Director,
“Many organizations and even governments around the world are utilizing IT solutions to realize their green initiatives. To quantify these efforts, Oracle has created the Oracle Document Management Green Calculator. This online tool, and the accompanying spreadsheet, will enable you to see how your organization can effect environmental change by moving printed information online." —Brian Dirking and Jaime D’Anna in Oracle White Paper: Go Green With Oracle Data Management
