Enterprise Content Management

by Ronny Timmermans, Xenit

Unstructured or semi-structured content like documents, email and multimedia represent more than 80% of all information in any typical enterprise.

Open Source ECM systems manage big documents in the era of big data. Creating an intelligent model to manage, mine and govern this tsunami of semi-structured information will give a sharp competitive edge to any company competing on creativity and innovation.

Where today, we apply meta-data to manage semi-structured information, tomorrow will bring richer semantic models, machine learning and cognitive computing to leverage content in context. Increasingly, digital native and agile enterprises will weave their smart ECM system into adaptive processes and workflows.
