Many companies buy into the vision of Enterprise Content Management – the ideal that you can have one unified ECM system that addresses the majority of content management needs of an organization.  However, for most companies, the reality of ECM is quite different:

• Expensive solutions that depend on extending the ECM suite with ’partner’ technologies to fully solve most problems, leading to expensive deployments that are difficult to cost justify and expensive to maintain and upgrade.
• Lengthy deployment cycles; specification development, programming and integration that can take months or longer before delivering business value.
• Inflexible software that is difficult to update as business needs change.

The SpringCM platform is different. By fully utilizing the cloud advantage, the SpringCM platform enables rapid, cost effective deployment of ECM applications, because of the following:

1. Pre-Integration:   25 different capabilities in one platform –and all customers get access to all that technology for a fraction of the cost of what it would take to build and maintain. So, you can solve 80-90% of the typical enterprise’s needs -across departments as diverse as Finance, Human Resources, Legal, Logistics and more, with one platform.
2. Enterprise-class: every one of the capabilities of SpringCM is built to address the real needs of small, medium and large companies – so you can have all the functionality without the hassles.
3. Automatic Upgrades: every 10 weeks or so a new release of Spring CM is out – and as a subscriber, you get it automatically. Customer ideas and new innovations make their way to production code in less time than previously possible.  
4. Cost Effectiveness– up to 90% less in year one than installed alternatives.
5. Immediate ROI: SpringCM can be deployed in days or weeks, not months or longer.

With the SpringCM platform you can deploy:

• Applications you configure yourself
• Application templates that are available from SpringCM for processes like invoice processing, contract management and dozens more processes
• Applications based on templates developed by partners
• Explore the capabilities of the SpringCM platform
• Explore the world of SpringCM application templates in Solutions Central

How can you take advantage of the SpringCM Platform?
Companies can deploy multiple applications on one technology infrastructure leading to:

• Lower costs: one platform means that all SpringCM applications
  • Have the same intuitive interface so users require less training, especially those that use multiple applications
  • Use the same Web services – so integration costs are reduced
  • Use the same SAS 70 Type II certified data center, so you do not need to endlessly vet different vendors' hosting centers
• Consistency of processes across operating units: key business processes like invoice processing, new employee onboading, and compliance certification – can be captured once in a SpringCM template and then deployed to multiple operating groups.  Use this capability to standardize key processes, spread best practices across your enterprise without hampering each group’s ability to tailor the fine points to their own needs.
• Increased compliance: since all SpringCM applications are running in one data center on a single instance of software, your content is centralized, enabling consistent enterprise – wide records management, and streamlining e-discovery processes.
• Software companies, integrators resellers and other partners can move existing applications to the cloud, and develop new cloud line of business applications by developing templates for resale through SpringCM Solutions Central.  Developing on the SpringCM platform is the fastest, lowest cost and least risky way to develop a cloud content-centric application.
