Stonebridge’s Portals & ECM Solutions Practice provides expert consulting services and guidance across a wide spectrum of business needs to improve the management, presentation, and preservation of digital assets.
People work better, smarter, more effectively when they are connected to each other. In today’s business enterprise, what connects people is content. Content provides the essential context – the glue – that links business processes and informs decision-making. It explains the numbers, guides the direction of the asset portfolio, and provides the feedstock for effective work between parts of the enterprise.
The definition of “content” is a moving target. Non-traditional content formats now challenge the traditional disciplines of document management and records management. Email has surpassed most other forms of textual communication as the nervous system of the enterprise. Multimedia and technical analysis tools have added extra dimensions to the two-dimensional view of content management. All these content formats now fall within the bailiwick of ECM.
Driven by advances in consumer technology, user expectations have also evolved. Users expect ECM solutions to be portal-based and as intuitive, personalized, and easy to use as the applications on their tablets and smartphones. They want to search corporate content by keyword, by project, by content owner, with the built-in ability to collaborate with others, whether in the same office or in another part of the world entirely.
Connecting people with the right content is as much art as science. Stonebridge provides expert consulting services for developing content strategies and deploying ECM solutions that enable effective content management, collaboration, and governance across the enterprise and throughout the ecosystem of employees, customers, partners, and regulators. Stonebridge’s Portals & ECM competencies include:
