...com/us/products/middleware/top-10-criterias-for-ecm-wp-1939579.pdf 2. Core ECM Capabilities When considering an ECM system, it’s important to consider the breadth of unstructured content types that you will manage, as well as the actual product features needed to support that content throughout its lifecycle. Unstructured content comes in many forms, including Microsoft Office® documents, PDFs, scanned images, production graphics, videos, engineering documents and operating procedures. As your company continues to grow, so will the types of content that need to be managed, shared, archived and properly disposed of. Make sure that your ECM system can properly manage the entire lifecycle of these different content types and support the different search needs, rendering, and retention policies that are associated with these different file types. In order to effectively mitigate risk and provide real productivity benefits, an ECM system must be the “single source of truth” within an organization. It is the one authoritative place to go to get the latest version of a file, the most current procedural document, the approved marketing imagery, current sales collateral and much more. ECM systems simplify content discovery for employees while providing flexible and appropriate levels of access. When it comes to managing all of this content, it must be done across the entire lifecycle of the item, from creation to disposal. Items are created or imported into the ECM system where they are...

...responsive to the needs of your customers. At least since the Sumerians wrote down transactions on baked clay tablets, documents have been the foundation of business. And while we no longer need to lug around those heavy clay documents (and watch out for water); if you’re using paper to manage your business then you aren’t any more efficient—or faster—than a civilization that existed 4,000 years ago. It doesn’t have to be this way. The technology is available. More importantly, the technology works. We have been scanning documents and moving them around business electronically for over 25 years; and that’s a good start. But, to match the pace of business today; content must be mobilized and harnessed for business use as soon as possible. Advances in scanning speeds, declining prices, and imaging and recognition software have combined to dramatically improve the concept of the digital mailroom—converting those inbound paper documents to digital format to directly feed business process; accounts payable for instance. As effective at the digital mailroom is—and will continue to be—at moving pieces of paper to the digital world (enabling those documents to be used at the speed of business with email, the Web, social channels, and your internal processes); it’s not a true revolution. Capture isn’t just about paper documents any longer. A step beyond—business documents don’t ever need to touch...

...After researching some popular commercial windows applications, I have found a few good open-source alternatives for Linux users. The four Windows applications I researched were Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Photoshop, Internet Explorer, and Norton Anti-Virus. The most user friendly Adobe Acrobat alternative I found was PDFMod. This a very user friendly platform with a nice GUI interface that allows you to reorder, rotate, and remove pages, export images from a document, edit the title, subject, author, and keywords, and combine documents via drag and drop. This program is very simple and easy to use to modify PDF documents. Adobe Photoshop was a little harder to find a good alternative, but I think that GIMP 2.6 answers that call. GIMP is a very simple yet complex application that can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc. You can expand GIMP with the use of plug-ins and extensions to do just about anything. Gimp also has an advanced scripting interface allows everything from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation procedures to be easily scripted. An obvious choice for me as a replacement for Internet Explorer(due to the fact that I already use it) is Mozilla Firefox. Firefox is, in my opinion, a superior browser with better security, performance, personalization, etc. With Firefox you can sync your desktop browser with your...

...Environmental scanning monitors, evaluates, and disseminates the information from both the internal and external environments within the corporation. The internal and external elements are strategic factors that determine the corporation’s future. Environmental scanning can be conducted through a simple SWOT analysis that describes the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats as strategic factors for an organization. The internal environment of the corporation is the strengths and weaknesses variables within the organization. The external environment of the corporation is the opportunities and threats variables that are outside the organization. This paper will describe research of the internal and external environments of IKON Office Solutions Inc. and A.O. Smith Water Products Company through environmental scanning. Through a SWOT Analysis, determination of the competitive advantages will be made of both companies and the strategies that they are using. The environmental scan of these organizations will include information on how each one creates value and sustainability of competitive advantages through the use of business strategy. The paper will explain the measurement guidelines that the organizations use to verify their strategic effectiveness. The paper will also explain just how effective each company’s use of their measurement guidelines is. IKON Office Solutions Inc.

In addition to the prevalence of information technology, the complexity of delivering access to services from a growing number of devices, platforms, and places than ever before forces information security to be a paramount matter. Multi-device access benefits your users, especially with the consumerization of IT, but broader access represents another potential attack surface. At the same time, organizations face ever-evolving cyber-threats from around the world that target users who may accidentally lose or compromise sensitive data. When you consider moving your organization to cloud services to store your data and various productivity services, the security concerns add another layer of consideration. That consideration is one...
