User-Centric ECM

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) in SharePoint Server provides users with both a platform and individual solutions for developing, using, and managing documents, with familiar Office Client applications deeply integrated for document viewing and editing.
ECM systems rely on one key dependency more than technology, feature set, or amount of information managed: user adoption.

Greater Value from Information

SharePoint Server can enhance the effectiveness of customer service and sales teams by aggregating critical information from across the enterprise and by providing rapid, easy access to both structured and unstructured information. Document drafts and final versions can be managed as a unit, all final documents can be grouped and managed as a Document Set, and all content can be managed in-place by a compliance manager.

Productivity improvement

ECM in SharePoint Server includes a full collaboration platform user can create and manage without involving IT, using the Office Client applications they already use every day. Users can set up collaboration workspaces, social pages such as wikis and blogs, pictures, video and audio files, and business process workflow and forms – all still managed through SharePoint Server. With SharePoint Server users can create, find, and manage information quickly and avoid taking up IT time.
