Organizations need the ability to manage the content that they currently have along with the new content being produced constantly. Enterprise Content Management (ECM) can help you to do just that. ECM controls the flow of information within an organization—this might be through how content is produced, approved, stored, or discarded.
In the past, other technologies have been too complex for the everyday business user to understand, much less utilize. SharePoint Foundation 2010 employs a suite of tools that make ECM available for everyone to use. Also, with its automated features, your ECM practices can be set to run on their own with minimal human intervention.
Although SharePoint 2010 does have traditional management tools, it combines those with social capabilities and a powerful search, and it is very natural to use. With simple administrative tools, you can set up compliance policies, and the familiar interface allows your staff to work just as they would in Office. The result is information management that is easy to find, share, and use.
Since SharePoint 2010 is closely aligned with the Office 2010 suite of tools, you are presented with a familiar user experience. Studies have revealed that when people are comfortable using a system, they tend to use it more. And in doing so, they can find the information they need easier, and their work is managed from start to finish.
Through SharePoint 2010 ECM, you are able to tag content, enforce retention schedules, declare records, and apply legal holds easily. With these measures in place, you can address the need for compliance and reduce the risk of mistakes when information is archived or discarded.
On a single platform, SharePoint Foundation 2010 manages documents, records, web content, and rich media, helping you to reduce your IT costs. SharePoint can also connect to legacy (older) ECM systems through its use of interoperability standards, such as Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS), eXtensible Markup Language (XML), and REpresentational State Transfer (REST). SharePoint Foundation helps your organization gain more value from its current investments.
