ECM is critical to SOA success
Organizations need to be agile to optimise every opportunity, so they
need their IT environment to be just as agile – which is why many are
turning to Service Orientated Architectures (SOA). Migrating to this
new environment is no small undertaking, but if your critical business
information still operates in silos, the SOA could be based on shaky
foundations. To guarantee SOA success, organizations need an Enterprise
Content Management (ECM) solution in place.
SOA without ECM: the consequences
- Gartner predicts that an SOA without integration to your enterprise content faces a high risk of failure
- Inaccurate, siloed information, leading to a lack of confidence in the system – both internally and externally
- Lost productivity – employees waste time searching for information
- An SOA that cannot achieve its full potential – and therefore not deliver the ROI expected by the business
SOA with ECM
- ECM solutions ensure your SOA can access its critical information; a single version of the truth, where information is a service
- ECM solution ensures your content is process aware and delivered in context
- ECM and SOA solutions will help you improve customer satisfaction – all employees have access to the information they need
- ECM solutions can help you achieve significant cost savings and greater profitability
