ECM

Enterprise Content Management

A suite of technologies used to capture, store, manage, and retrieve structured and unstructured content across an organization. Traditionally centered around a centralized repository, ECM systems focus on version control, security, compliance, and lifecycle governance for documents and records. ECM is widely used for document-heavy processes such as contracts, HR files, and regulatory forms. While effective for consolidating content, ECM platforms can be less agile compared to CSPs when integrating with modern cloud-native services and distributed data environments.
