Enterprise content management (ECM)

Improve operational efficiency and deliver environmental benefits

When it comes to critical business processes, organizations must effectively capture, manage, store, preserve and deliver enterprise content to make informed business decisions. CGI applies enterprise content management (ECM) solutions to integrate and streamline processes, and make pertinent data more accessible across the enterprise. The results: improved performance, greater productivity, and reduced cost and risk.

What is ECM?

ECM is the process of converting offline information such as paper, microfilm or microfiche to computer images and managing all unstructured electronic content, such as documents, web pages, emails or scanned images. Historically, CGI puts offline content at the fingertips of our clients and streamlines back-office operations from months to weeks, or weeks to days. From placing 50 years of life insurance policy information online to scanning and capturing data on 40 million pages in a single year at the Virginia Department of Taxation, ECM is a core part of every clients' operating business models.

Is ECM for you?

Are you aware of operational inefficiencies in your current business process? Do you feel like you have an abundance of information, but no real strategy for effectively managing it? Are some of your business processes seemingly spinning out of control? Is your next-generation customer demanding information faster and more distributed than ever before? "I get it now" products like iTunes, Amazon, Facebook and video on demand have altered the paradigm for succeeding in today's global market. Not to worry—an effective enterprise content management strategy followed by a successful ECM roll-out can help you succeed even in the most traditional business environments.
