The goal of an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system is to connect the people, processes, and information of an organization. A successful and effective ECM system is not merely an application that organizes and stores content, it is a fully-integrated platform and architectural framework that enables unfettered collaboration, stewards enterprise content throughout its life-cycle, and enables greater productivity. An ECM system is an organization’s virtual eco-system.
But how do you take a flexible and expansive platform like SharePoint and transform it into the powerful and efficient ECM system your organization demands? How do you unlock the ECM potential already imprinted in SharePoint’s DNA? To unleash SharePoint’s full ECM capabilities, you must fortify it with appropriate infrastructure management support. You must supplement SharePoint’s native ability to connect people, processes, and information with powerful data protection, administration, content management, storage optimization, compliance, and deployment tools.
The DocAve Software Platform delivers these tools. With 15 independently deployable modules piloted via a unified, browser-based interface, DocAve is the key to transforming SharePoint from a powerful collaboration platform and digital asset repository into a truly comprehensive ECM 2.0 system. Collectively, SharePoint and DocAve form the basis for the next generation of robust and cost effective ECM solutions, providing organizations a much needed alternative to today’s costly legacy ECM systems.
