Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is the technology used to Capture, Manage, Store, Preserve, and Deliver content and documents related to organizational processes. ECM tools and strategies allow the management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information exists.
At Document Management Solutions (DMS), our focus is on the Capture technologies.
The first step in managing your content is getting it into your IT infrastructure. While many internal company documents are born, and remain, digital throughout their lifecycle organizations still need to ingest a tremendous amount of paper-based communications from outside. Checks, invoices, application forms, customer letters, etc., all need to be turned into digital form for insertion into an electronic workflow or directly into storage. Capturing documents puts them in motion and enables the information contained in those documents to be acted upon. While we predominantly refer to capture as the digitizing of paper documents, capture can also mean ingesting electronic files (emails, forms, etc.) into your information management environment.
