Opinions and discussion on content management by one of the biggest guys in the business. *Measured by weight not volume

The solution is designed to allow case workers to focus more on a child’s needs rather than needlessly reviewing case documents.

Finding documents is one of the biggest challenges for most organizations. This is supposed to become easier after implementing an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution, but when an organization has multiple platforms it becomes exponentially harder.

Having been in the ECM industry for 18 years, people expect you to know “every” vendor. The problem is you can easily discover a dozen new vendors with a... Continue Reading →
