Keeping the Peace Through ECM...

How to get more value from your people and information

Different tastes, opinions, and values sometimes make it challenging for employees to work together in an office. Throw in some sport team rivalries and passive-aggressive office kitchen notes and it can get downright hostile in your workplace. The last thing you need to worry about is your software systems interacting nicely.

Enter ECM and SharePoint… Together, these systems offer significant value, allowing your employees to access diverse information and collaborate easily on projects.

As the article Maximizing Meaningful Use of Information with SharePoint and ECM explains, “SharePoint offers these workers a common and familiar-looking (Microsoft) interface for accessing information, processing work, and collaborating. ECM adds time-saving tools and provides efficient access to work, external information, and archived files.”

A properly designed ECM/SharePoint integration eliminates:

• the need to manually pull information from one application to the next.
• work duplication among team members by providing project transparency and automated task distribution.
• data entry errors by extracting and re-using stored information in multiple places where it has value.
• the obligation from team members to provide constant project updates – whenever documentation is ready for review, one click adds it to the appropriate queue for action or archival.

Bottom line:

A well-planned integration between your software systems is essential for success. By adding the functionality of an ECM system to your SharePoint interface, you allow your employees to be more efficient and productive…no matter which sports team they plan to cheer on.
