“Enterprise Content Management brings all of an organization’s unstructured content into a managed environment for sharing, controlled access, findability and archiving. Knowledge within an organisation includes insights and experiences as well as tangible information that is embodied in individuals or organisations. Provide a single repository, accessible by all staff, capable of dealing with all kinds of content, servicing business processes across the organization, and providing a single, secure records archive with managed disposition. Use information management technologies for unstructured content. The common goal is to provide users with a single-access capability allowing them to find, retrieve and process information from wherever it is stored, without needing to login to multiple applications. Increasingly, underlying content services infrastructures have emerged as a base for content management and business process applications. Portals, collaboration and search capabilities form the basis of an Information Management and Collaboration solution to provide collaborative workspaces in which people can communicate and interact as well as share documents and business intellectual capital.”

Second paragraph scores :

Wanna know how your documents rate?  Activate the setting in Word and find out.
