Written by GtoRMan Tuesday, 17 November 2009 04:01

In this course we will provide a thorough introduction to and grounding in Enterprise Content Management technologies. Explain clearly how they work and why they will become of increasing importance to you and your organization, particularly in this age of financial restrictions. This will be a highly critical and supplier agnostic workshop, championing no particular vendor technology approach, but with critical insight into the strengths and limitations of all the leading systems.

The database may not be the right place to manage documents and email – hence the plethora of ECM tools, including Microsoft SharePoint to manage, search and present on the market. Understanding how to extract maximum value from content and analytical data is essential in modern organizations. Hence we will look at how to manage and exploit maximum value from eunstructured dataf/fcontentf and look at how you can best marry this information with your current estructured dataf activities. We will spend time looking at the vendor marketplace and how this is has evolved from its roots in Document Management and workflow to involvement with the Business Intelligence and Data Management world – and explore where potential conflicts may arise. The course will remain strictly vendor neutral and will aim to give real world examples and methods. Overall this will be a highly practical course, suitable for both technical and more Business oriented attendees alike.
