Enterprise Content Management, Beyond SharePoint

May 29, 2012

Going beyond search, SharePoint 2010 is also capable of enterprise content management (ECM). Content management on any platform requires quite a bit of intentionality and planning, a task that can be daunting for any content management specialist. Jennifer Mason at CMS Wire gives users something to consider in, “SharePoint 2010: Enterprise Content Management for the Masses.”

Because there are so many pieces to consider, the best advice that can be given about getting started with the concept of records management is to start by planning. Before you ever look at the technology, you should work within your organization to ensure that you have a good set of requirements and an understanding of the overall management strategy. Once that is created, you can look at the various components required (such as Content Types and Metadata) and plan for the various elements you will need.

As Mason walks readers through various ECM features and how to use them, the advice is valuable. However, many users will benefit from a content management system that is more intuitive, requiring less customization.
