Enterprise Content Management and Product Lifecycle Management
Nowadays, the amount of structured and unstructured information that companies have to deal with is increasing at an astonishing rate. Content is at the heart of many enterprises, the majority of it being in electronic format.
- Stored information increases by 30% each year
- Over 90% of all records are born electronic
- Over 85% of information used is in unstructured documents
- Over 600 billion emails are sent each year
- As much as 65% of all information is subject to records retention
- 95% of all records are subject to destruction
To maximize the value and benefit from all the information sources available, companies are increasingly looking at ECM solutions from leading companies such as Atos Origin to help them manage the vast amount of content they need to work with on a daily basis.
Content comes in various types: office documents, images, graphics, drawings, reports and print streams, as well as web pages, forms, email, video and rich media assets.
The relevance of content is increasing and forms the basis for most business decisions. Greater collaboration across the supply chain is also increasing the need for content management. Here enterprises have to manage their own content as well as their partner’s resulting in the need for better workflow and Business Process Management.
