Content Management and Workflow for Business Needs Cloud, not Software

Traditional enterpise content management solutions that come in the form of on-premise software pose complex, costly challenges for organizations. In many cases, these projects begin with technical issues and infrastructure to support an enterprise-wide solution. For business departments, impatient to gain some competence and experience, on-premise takes too long to realize a fast ROI by being able to immediately streamline content management and workflow.  

More than just a subscription model applied to traditional ways of doing business, cloud solutions for content management and workflow represent a fundamental shift in the way enterprises leverage application functionality. Departmental solutions to streamline document-intensive business processes can be configured easily without custom programming, and partner ecosystems complement core functionality with specialized features that address specific needs.

Rapid deployment and the elimination of up-front customer costs for hardware, configuration, and installation greatly reduce project risk. The success of the cloud model for content management and workflow can be seen in strong and growing adoption of a broad spectrum of solutions from CRM to online video. The rapid acceptance of cloud enterprise content management (ECM) comes from:

• Multiple ECM technologies such as document management, BPM, imaging, search and more can be thoroughly integrated once by the vendor, with the cost amortized over thousands of customers, providing powerful economies of scale.
• Platform upgrades take place in the background, transparent to the user. There are no additional or unexpected costs for maintenance and upgrades, just a single predictable subscription fee that’s ideal for departmental budgets.
• Departmental applications are configured, rather than programmed and compiled so customizations occur at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional systems.
• Using a unified cloud ECM platform simplifies administration, including user administration, security policies, single sign-on, and the enforcement of compliance policies for records management.
• A single Web services interface across applications simplifies integration and maintenance.
• The initial cost to deploy a cloud ECM solution can be as little as 10% of the initial cost of traditional installed software and hardware and the ongoing monthly subscription fee is often less than the maintenance cost for traditional software.
