The Evolution of ECM: Platform Oriented, Flexible, Architected for the Cloud and Designed for Technologists
Are you a technology leader, IT decision maker, architect or developer who makes decisions or provides advice on development frameworks, enterprise content management systems or other development tools to build business content applications?
If so, this whitepaper is for you! It explores some of the content technology changes, and explains the value and benefits to business and technical adopters of embracing a new generation of ECM platform technology.

Understand the evolution of ECM to a platform approach |
| And why it requires a new generation of technology... |

- ECM has evolved -- it is no longer limited to scanned documents or a small set of records, it can include a myriad of content types from XML documents, or enterprise applications like CRM, SCM, ERP and even content like emails, texts, spreadsheets, etc.
- As content is becoming more diverse, modern ECM now includes multimedia such as images, video, voice mail, streaming media and newer forms of information channels like social media and geo-data, that did not exist before.
- Modern Enterprise Platforms have evolved beyond simple file sharing and now include features like version tracking, lifecycle, content streaming, auditing, business rules, as well as support of document meta-data and semantic details.
- With changing business needs, vendors must take a platform approach and expose services that can be integrated to support varying organizational needs.
Identify the requirements you should expect from the next generation of ECM platform |
| The whitepaper expands on some of the key requirements such as: |

- Enabling content-driven processes and applications instead of viewing an ECM solution as only a stand-alone tool.
- Providing modularity and extensibility with the ECM platform; lack of extensibility can have a direct impact on business capabilities and restrict ECM adoption.
- Supporting more than just the server side -- client side features are equally important when evaluating an ECM solution.
- Capable of running anywhere, including the cloud; an ECM platform should allow for installation on a standard Java Application Server, a lean Apache Tomcat servlet engine, JBoss application servers or other standard infrastructure, without hassles.
Identify the business value of adopting a modern ECM platform for your content management projects |
| Business Case, Sample ROI, and more... |

- A well defined business case justifies the rationale for architectural recommendations in a cohesive manner and should include qualitative reasons, quantitative justifications and ROI for undertaking a project.
- Some of the reasons for implementing an enterprise platform for content applications are reduced training, improved content reuse and consistency, lower costs and reduced time to market.
- Like any investment, it is important to understand when an implementation of an ECM platform will pay for itself. This whitepaper also outlines a sample ROI Benefit and Cost model as well as a sample ROI calculation.
