ECM Charting the Path The vision of enterprise content management (ECM) is compelling. Users across the enterprise are able to create, retrieve, manage and archive all of their content, including documents (paper and electronic), Email, computer reports, web content, and other forms of unstructured information throughout their business processes. ECM supports the records retention policies of the enterprise so that audit and compliance requirements are satisfied for both physical and electronic documents. Additionally, ECM supports content re-use and collaboration requirements since document content is repurposed for presentation via enterprise portals and websites.

Enterprise Content Management (ECM): The New Rationale This enterprise content management (ECM) vision has been visible for many years. Like an iceberg, in the distance it is utterly beautiful. But like an iceberg, approaching it has been fraught with peril because of the integration risks and difficulties. But in 2004, the ECM industry has new momentum as many of the long-standing limitations of the ECM tools, applications and infrastructure components have been successfully addressed. We survived the 2000—2003 technology investment bust, and vendors report that pent-up demand is large.

SharePoint 2007 - Coming Soon to an Office Near You - Part 1 With 2007, Microsoft is consolidating a number of traditional front-office and back-office products into what is referred to as “Office 2007.” One of the key components in Office 2007 is SharePoint 2007, which might be the key to getting Microsoft out of the desktop misery that they are in. The traditional Office products will facilitate document and email storage in SharePoint. What does this mean to the large organizations who have been wrestling with ECM and records management implementations for 20 years or so? How does Office 2007 relate to the ECM reference architectures that are being envisioned and deployed? What are other companies doing to plan for Office 2007? Does this mean that ECM vendors are insufficiently concerned about the opportunity/threat posed by Microsoft? This article provides some current notes from the field.

SharePoint 2007 - Coming Soon to an Office Near You - Part 2 Microsoft is consolidating a number of traditional front-office and back-office productivity products into the “Office 2007” product suite. One of the key components in Office 2007 is Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS), which might be the key to getting Microsoft out of the desktop misery that they have been in for many years. We initially reviewed the introduction of this family of products in the September 2006 issue of this magazine (Quick Link 32019). The second part of this article examines the architectural alternatives and decisions that large organizations face in the deployment of MOSS.

Old Wine in a New Bottle Every so often, an older technology evolves in such a way that it is rediscovered by a new set of users with new needs. Enterprise search is such a technology. As search technologies were adapted to the Internet, search engines begin to fluently handle searching across multiple repositories simultaneously. Of equal importance, users had their expectations for enterprise search reset by tools such as Google and Yahoo. Now, users expect to be able to find documents inside their organizations with the same ease that they can find them on the Internet.
