IBM Enterprise Content Management

The tool is exactly as professional as you would expect after hearing its’ name – it is accessible on mobile using ICN, API is simplified and it even supports multiple users to work simultaneously on a particular document, therefore having wonderful collaborative options.

The main issue that arises is the extensive learning curve for developers and administrators as its’ complex configurations require deep knowledge and understanding of the modules. That means the main administrators should definitely either possess a previous experience or be ready for a longer learning period.

The main reason the software is so hard to get a hold of is the fact it is designed to perfection and to enhance your work in a truly professional manner. Therefore, it is forgiveable and after a while of using it, the administrative processes won’t cause so many troubles.

IBM Enterprise Content Management provides ease of managing digital content for companies meaning they get to go paperless. It is also easier for companies to tailor solutions that will be a perfect fit in meeting their business needs/demands. It is also easier to integrate the IBM Enterprise Content management with Microsoft Office and this provides ease of data manipulation/editing on a common interface.

The product may prove to be highly complex and use it may require a broad know-how in IT. The costs are also high and make it hard for moderate size companies to gain from the product. The backup capabilities of the IBM Enterprise are also non-existent and this happens to be a huge disadvantage.

The IBM Enterprise Content Management is highly suitable for any industry and is an efficient tool in the management of a company’s important documents and also efficient in sharing data, having the capability to limit access to documents by certain people on the system making it secure. Despite the huge costs, the benefits gained from its use are vast and the efficiency in managing data is increased and this helps to meet the business needs effectively. The lack of cloud storage and backup proves to be a huge disadvantage weighs heavily on choosing the program. With all this, the IBM Enterprise Content Manager is a basic requirement for industries that want to improve their management systems and is, therefore, a must-have.
