Livelink ECM - eDOCS Suite
Livelink ECM - eDOCS Suite represents the evolution of Enterprise Content Management (ECM). In addition to controlling and managing business content via its industry-leading ECM platform, Livelink ECM - eDOCS Suite offers organizations a true framework to deploy content-driven industry- and process-specific solutions that mitigate risk, reduce costs, and generate business advantage. It is the foundation for streamlining and automating such critical processes as regulatory compliance, contract management, correspondence management, practice support for law firms, deal room management, and e-mail management. ECM has moved from a tactical technology solution for managing increasing volumes and centralizing access to business information into the realm of strategic imperative for delivering cost savings and generating business advantage.
"Think of ECM as a strategy rather than a project or product. Plan for a consistent enterprise-wide content architecture. Identify the particular functions you need and ensure that the solution you're considering integrates them adequately. An ECM suite will make sense for most companies, but vendors differ in the number of components they offer and in the level of integration."
