Enterprise Content Management in the Big Data Era is Complex
November 6, 2012
The evolution of ECM through the past years can be tough to follow, and the future can be even harder to predict. The challenges range from digitizing paper documents to constant process changes. The article “Maturing ECM Technology Tested by Increase in Data” on PropertyCasualty360 speaks on the various problems that can arise in the Big Data era, like analyzing and managing content in data warehouses and the cloud.
The article continues and elaborates on the future of enterprise content management:
“Through web services, carriers will call out to the ECM systems to restore, retrieve, and search through documents. They are not necessarily interacting with the ECM solution, but the new core system as the front end.
‘There are different approaches being taken and the effort going forward and finding how these systems work together and how the workflows work together is proving to be a big job for carriers,’ says [David Packer, a principal for the technology consulting group X by 2.]”
Enterprise content management has multiple layers and they are complex, and the systems are likely to remain elaborate. Working with vendors such as Intrafind that offer secure access and robust search is a good business practice that can help alleviate some of the complexity.
