Some early history of ECM ... 2001 ... one of the first slide presentations explaning ECM Enterprise Content Management. Markus Evans Senior Executive Forum: "Web Content Management - Vom Content Management zum Change Management", Berlin, Germany, 30.05.2001, Keynote by Dr. Ulrich Kampffmeyer, PROJECT CONSULT, at tthat time vice chair of AIIM Europe. (c) AIIM 2001 & PROJECT CONSULT Unternehmensberatung 2001. The term ECM Enterprise Content Management emerged late in the year 2000. AIIM, the international ECM association choose ECM as their new message and focus when Web Content Management started to overcome traditional document management. One of the first presentations in Europe was held by Dr. Ulrich Kampffmeyer, member of the board of directors of AIIM Europe in those days, in Berlin at the Markus Evans Senior Executive Forum "WEB CONTENT MANAGEMENT - Vom Content Management zum Change Management" (30th May until 1st June, 2001) at the Hotel Inter-Continental in Berlin. In 2001 the term Enterprise Content Management was explained as follows: "The technologies used to create, capture, customize, deliver, and manage enterprise content to support business processesâ€. This presentation already contains the basic settings of ECM which where later on enhanced to todays perception of ECM Enterprise Content Management by AIIM ( http://www.aiim.org/about-ecm.asp ): "Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is the technologies used to capture, manage, store, preserve, and deliver content and documents related to organizational processes. ECM tools and strategies allow the management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information exists." (c) CopyRight PROJECT CONSULT Unternehmensberatung GmbH, Hamburg, 2001

7. Business Drivers
Explosion of Unstructured Information
Radically new IT challenges…
• Rampaging technology obsolescence.
• Systems now handling far more than just structured
transactional data – often without a plan...
• Unstructured information far more complicated than data
and needs to be managed differently.
Unstructured
Structured
8. Business Drivers
Too Much, Too Fast
“The Internet is creating opportunities for
consumers and companies at a breathtaking pace.
But change is coming so rapidly that we all too
often find ourselves in an online Tower of Babel.”
• Lawrence A. Weinbach, Chairman, Unisys
9. Business Drivers
Technologies Driving E-Business
1. The Business Drivers -- Why do organizations
need to think strategically about content?
Why now?
1. Volume and complexity of unstructured content.
2. It’s not about “taking your business to the web.”
It’s about bringing the web into your business.
13. Business Drivers
e-Documents are crucial
Companies run on documents.
Documents communicate product details, describe
new innovations, carry bids and quotes, confirm
terms, and handle payment.
Documents teach customers how to use products,
provide informative analysis, seal agreements
between companies, and between companies and
customers.
Documents are the foundation of business.

14. Business Drivers
“Core to the success of a sell-side
B2B e-commerce site is the ability
to make the technical content that
drives the e-commerce transactions
readily available to the user…in a
way that is integrated with
transactions and decision-support
systems.”

“Commerce and content are
converging because the actual
transaction is only 10% of the
dialogue one has with a customer.
The other 90%…is information.”

15. Business Drivers
Think strategically
1. The Business Drivers -- Why do organizations need
to think strategically about content?
Why now?
1. Volume and complexity of unstructured content.
2. It’s not about “taking your business to the web.” It’s
about bringing the web into your business.
3. Web-based processes require integration of front-end e-
business applications with the rest of the infrastructure
and supply chain.
16. Business Drivers
The E-Business Iceberg
“Amidst the onslaught of B2B applications that have
emerged over the last couple of years, many have
lacked the organization and orchestration of
business processes in any comprehensive manner…
The temptation is to put a portal in place, build an
exchange, and then consider the job complete.
These users are suffering from iceberg vision – 90%
of the problem is still below the surface.”
• Carl Frappaolo, Delphi Group
19. Business Drivers
The Web & E-Business
“The Internet [and enterprise content management!]
is like high school sex…
• Everyone thinks everyone else is doing it.
• Everyone wishes they were doing it.
• Only a few are actually doing it.
• And the few that are, aren’t doing it well.”
• Kate Muldoon, line56 magazine

a completely new Approach ?
25. From Document-Management to Content Management
What is Web Content Management ?
WCM Editing
• WCM Editing Solutions mainly create content and support the
editing process with workflow functionality
WCM Repository
• Internal management of information and runtime provision
WCM Publication
• These solutions offer the „push principle“ with specific
distribution of informations in addition to „pulled“ information
WCM eBusiness
• The integrated systems provide more than adaption,
management and distribution of the content. Further functions
also allow direct interaction and individualized use.
26. From Document-Management to Content Management
What is Enterprise Content Management ?
ECM Portal
• Browser-based, personalized display for information access of
different internal and external sources as well as replacement of
old host and/or client user displays
ECM Data/Document-Warehouse
• Applets, middleware and meta databases for combination and
compression of unstructured informations from different
sources of the company

Kbkids.com, Macys.com, ToysRus.com fined $1.5M for
failure to meet shipment schedules. Key question they did not
address…
• How do front office applications (CRM, supply chain
management, electronic commerce, procurement, etc.)
INTEGRATE WITH …
Back office applications (ERP, database management,
inventory management, shipping systems, etc.)?
Do your business processes align with the new e-business

45. Understanding user issues and concerns
Legality (1)
Signature Formalities -
• Digital Signatures - legal standing in US Oct 1 2000 -
“E-Sign” Act
• Media neutral…Agencies retain implementing
flexibility…No e-record exemption
Authenticity & Authority
• Who really sent the message?
• Who can commit a company to a $1M purchase?
Document Integrity
• Has the document been altered en route and is it
complete?
• Non-repudiation
46. Understanding user issues and concerns
Legality (2)
Document and Record Preservation
• In the old world, key question was…
• What can be thrown away?
• With paper, you could always get to it “someday.”
• In the new world, key questions…
• What must be saved…and in what form?…before it is
lost forever.
• How do you document with certainty the context in
which a web transaction takes place? Have documents
been associated with metadata attributes?
• How do you manage risk of litigation against the ability
of the technology to save almost everything?
47. Integrity of Systems/Databases
• Hard tradeoffs between ubiquitous access and vulnerability
• Survey of 288 CIOs (John J. Davis Associates)…
• 92% said they need to improve system security
• Security spending – 1999 (IDC)
• Anti-viral software -- $1.2B
• Firewall software -- $537M
• Admin, authentication -- $2.1B
• Encryption -- $134M
• Worldwide Security Market (Yankee Group)
• 2000 ($5B), 2001 ($6.7B), 2002 ($8.7B), 2003 ($10.8B)
• Wireless Security
• The new frontier -- fraught with unsolved security issues
• Privacy
• No international standard

Security
48. Understanding user issues and concerns
Migration/Legacy Systems
For the foreseeable future, users will be managing a
complex mix of file types, created by multiple
sources, for delivery in multiple places.
A common customer view is critical.
To be successful at ECM you need to understand
existing processes and repositories.
“A paperless office is about as useful as a paperless
toilet.”

To understand what is driving today’s IT management, it’s helpful to think back to “the old days,” when:
Data, applications and users were all safely contained within the four walls of the enterprise.
The introduction of client-server computing, with individual PCs and workstations running software applications locally, created new complexity in managing this increasingly heterogeneous environment.
Management focused on the physical systems and the network- desktop PCs and workstations, and managing the network.
Even at that time, managing diverse types of information and departmental document silos, was a challenge.

And with the advent of the Internet and the Extended Enterprise, the management challenge has become even more complex.
It’s Pandora’s box:
Users, applications and information have moved beyond the four walls of the enterprise
It’s not just employees accessing the system, it’s customers and business partners and suppliers and distributors.
We are now in a mobile environment and using mobile appliances such as laptop computers, PDA’s and Cell phones to receive, send, and store information.

This diagram helps to illustrate the relationship of document technologies (the ones that drive e-business applications) with both the business applications and an organization’s technology foundation.
The technology foundation includes internally mandated or standardized hardware, operating systems (such as Windows NT), networks and databases.
The technologies that are the GLUE between the custoner-facing front office applications and and back-office applications space include collaborative tools (such as Lotus Notes), Content Management tools (such as Open Text), Image Management tools (both electronic and film), Data Warehousing/Data Mining tools (or what some people call business intelligence tools such as IBM’s MQ series, Thinking Machines), KM tools (such as Autonomy) and Workflow/Business Process Tools (such as Staffware or Lucent Technologies’ Mosaix).
The different points of access are dependent less on the architecture (since many organizations are migrating to web-based access) but more on the audience. Who is knocking on the door, determines what processes will be initiated and what that person or business will see.

So, it’s not about technology, it is how to apply technology to effectively manage business processes.
Increasingly these e-processes involve the application of the web as the vehicle for information transfer and management of the exponential growth of content in order to deliver benefits at the customer level
Year 2000 Survey of 288 CIO’s by John J. Davis Associates in New York about the most important challenges for IT departments: 92% indicated that they needed to improve security and the integrity of systems/databases. In 1997 only 59% felt that security was important.
What’s new in access control? Biometric Signature verification could replace passwords, PIN numbers, keycards and ID cards. What is biometric signature verification? The technology verifies a handwritten signature by measuring the shape, speed, stroke, pen pressure, and timing of the signature. Stop by the CyberSign demonstration to learn more about biometrics.
Wireless Security - Dataquest predicts the installed base of mobile terminals in North America will double from 75 million in 98 to 150 million by 2003. But, the wireless application protocol (WAP) that is used to send data to and from many handheld devices, has no security mechanisms built into it and may very well not end up being the industry standard.
Id like to take a look at an admittedly over-simplified business process, and consider how the strategic management of content increasingly plays a critical role in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes.
One of the byproducts of the web revolution has been that organizations find that they can streamline the process of customer interaction through the web. Everyone knows the kind of efficiencies – by an order of magnitude – associated with web-based order systems compared to more traditional forms of customer interaction.
However, in almost every case, customers are not going to immediately stop faxing, phoning, and writing you. Your job is to take all of these myriad inputs and get them into some sort of a manageable and predictable information flow. The strategic use of technologies associated with the creation and capture of content play an increasingly important role at this critical stage of the business process. Without this step, all you will have done by moving to the web is add yet another layer of complexity to an already out of control process.
As organizations move to “externalize” their processes – in other words, expand their supply chains to include customers, partners, and suppliers – it becomes increasingly important to deal at a strategic level with all of the different forms of content necessary to make a business process work. Without this strategic perspective, the only thing you will accomplish by externalizing your processes is that you will create more chaos and dissatisfaction for all involved.
In making this process perform more effectively, there are a variety of issues related to the management of content that must be addressed. What kind of storage is appropriate to tasks that must be performed? How will you determine the retention period for each type of content, and how will you determine what must be preserved and what media must be used to insure that preservation? And lastly, what kinds of technology will you use to manage the process structure itself, so that improvements in the capture, creation, deliver, and customization of content can be used to restructure and simplify the process itself?
As the different owners within a business process perform their roles, it is critical that they have access to the right information at the right time. In addition to all of the information generated during the initial interaction with the customer, they each will have very different needs for company information, data sheets, contracts, past transaction records, and information from outside the company. This information must be customized to their particular needs and roles in the overall business process. And in transactions between businesses, this kind of additional information that provides the context in which business decisions are made can be voluminous.
Technologies focused on content delivery and customization play an extremely important role in delivery this information. Portals and search engine technologies help identify the appropriate information. The increasing use of XML based technologies provide ways to present content that are independent from the content itself. This is increasingly important as organizations struggle with delivering information to a wide variety of output devices, including wireless devices. As more and more business critical information is shifted to web based and web-enabled processes, how an organization addresses security concerns becomes increasingly important.
And then to complete the loop, how can the information and content that is gathered during the process then be used to enrich and streamline the next experience of the customer? How can this accumulated information be used to create greater value for the customer, directly customized to their needs?
Integrity - The recipient must be able to determine whether or not the document received has been altered en route or is incomplete.
Non-repudiation - The ability to “prove” the document in court in the event of a dispute; the sender cannot falsely deny sending the document, nor falsely deny the contents of the document.
Signature formalities must be satisfied. The Federal Electronic Signature Act will go into effect October 1. Digital signatures will be equal to physical signatures in many types of transactions.
Digital Signatures - uses the public key infrastructure (PKI) to tie the digital signature to the document being signed as well as to the sender.
