How do you get control over content? Use content management across the enterprise. This presentation tells you some of the considerations to succeed in controlling your content.
Even for those organisations which have embraced Enterprise Content Management, and a formal definition and explanation will come shortly in this module, there is still PLENTY of content that is important to workers in the enterprise, yet is thoroughly UN-managed. The vast majority of e-mail tends to be unmanaged and uncontrolled, with e-mail being the primary conduit to share information in any given organisation. That results in a fractured collection of various versions of spreadsheets, memos, letters, contracts, slide decks, charts, and other content. This leaves most employees wondering who has the latest version, and whether they are operating with the most recent information. Not a great scenario when you are about to discuss a potential contract with a customer.The proliferation of USB thumb drives, and net-enabled phones and PDAs spreads this unmanaged even further and wider.
