One Size Doesn't Fit All...

Make sure the enterprise content management (ECM) solution you choose “fits” your organization.

The statement “one size fits all” rarely lives up to its claims.  Without fail, it’s either too small for one person or too large for another.  How can you make sure that the same thing doesn’t happen to your organization when choosing an ECM solution?  If your company has limited IT resources, you want to make sure that your document management project won’t be too big for you to handle. At the same time, you also want to ensure that the functionality you get isn’t limited.

The article, SMBs: Solutions for Common Challenges that Will Help Keep Your EDM and Workflow Projects Manageable and On Track, explains some of the common challenges to consider in the planning, implementation, maintenance, and support of a document management project, including:

• Finding a vendor who will be a partner in your success
• Determining the total cost of ownership (TCO) for your EDM and/or workflow project
• Maximizing your ROI by leveraging your existing technology investments
• Change management
• Communicating effectively with your vendor to keep costs under control

According to a CFO/Treasurer of a mutual insurance company who uses EDM, document management software can easily fit into any size company. In the Digital Publishing Solutions article, Real Life Document Management, “(Eric) Schmader notes that the cost of implementing DM is inexpensive and the rewards are great.  ‘A company our size requires solutions that may have been cost prohibitive in years past because of the investment put into technology,’ he says. ‘A small company now competes just as well as a large company.’”

The bottom line:

Whether your company is small, medium, or large, finding a scalable ECM solution that “fits” your organization might not seem like an easy task. But with proper planning, knowledge to ask the right questions, and a vendor willing to address your unique needs, your document management project can succeed - regardless of your company's size.
