IBM unveils new enterprise content management (ECM) software designed to enable clients to manage their increasing volumes of information and reduce their business processing time, helping reduce cost and increase efficiency.
The new ECM software includes a business process management offering with analytic capabilities, new features in IBM`s content management product line and full-featured ECM starter packs that are specifically designed for clients looking for smaller deployments, to cost-effectively meet their enterprise content management needs.
"Our software offerings are designed to make it easier for clients to get the most out of their content management investments," said Ken Bisconti, vice president, products and strategy, IBM Enterprise Content Management. "By bundling a complete set of content-centric business process management tools into one offering, IBM has significantly improved the delivery of ECM capabilities. This allows clients to simplify integration, streamline their business processes and lower costs."
New versions of IBM Content Manager and IBM FileNet Content Manager will also include a technical preview of the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standard. CMIS is a proposed standard that allows clients to leverage third-party applications, user interfaces and tools with IBM repositories via a standardized web services or REST/AtomPub interfaces. This makes it easier for users to gain access to the right information - at the right time - from their applications. CMIS was submitted to OASIS, an international open standards consortium, in September 2008 and is currently preparing for public review.
In addition, IBM`s ECM portfolio now includes ECM starter packs. The ECM starter packs are four, full-featured ECM packages targeted for smaller or departmental deployments. They allow clients to purchase just the right number of licenses to meet their current needs, helping them realize a more significant return on investment and enabling them to scale to a full enterprise deployment at any time.
The starter packs include: IBM Content Manager, IBM FileNet Content Manager, IBM FileNet Business Process Manager, and IBM Content Collector Discovery Analytics.***
