Document and Content Management
Written by Administrator   

 What is Content Management?

Managing and controlling documents is an important part of business success. At least a tenth of an organization's revenues is based around creating, distributing and managing documents like e-mails, spreadsheets, presentations, product manuals and more. The abundance of documents makes it hard to find, share, organize and control them. Content management systems help solve the problems by providing controlled, location-transparent and format-independent access to documents.

How do we define Content Management?

For us the meaning of content management is processes and tools to structure and provide employees with information that they need and tools to create content in a controlled environment. The reason for implementing a content management system could be to improve and support work processes and quality of produced content.

 

Examples of use in different industry sectors:


  • Regulatory compliance support, such as approval for new drugs or financial instruments, or ISO 9000 registration.
  • Accounting, such as linking documents (correspondence, orders received, credit notes and despatch documents) with the accounts.
  • Manufacturing, including handling engineering and maintenance documents, product data management (PDM), tracking revisions and different versions for different products and markets, or preparation and maintenance of standard operating procedures on process chemical plants.
