In some industries, more regulations have been passed in the last few years than have been written in almost a century. From the Patriot Act to Sarbanes-Oxley and Basel 2 and DOMEA regulations, governments are creating more secure living conditions for consumers. Across many industries, individuals and companies have already been penalized for not complying with these regulations and mismanaging critical business content.
The first book in the trilogy, ECM Solutions, sets the stage by introducing relevant ECM business needs and technology elements. It focuses on ROI and Compliance as the principle drivers of ECM adoption and explores how to maximize both from your ECM solutions.
ECM Solutions addresses industry- and department-specific problems and provides examples of some of the ECM solutions used by industry leaders to resolve them.
This book draws examples from 67 companies, including:
20th Century Fox
HP
Motorola
Siemens
