Top Business Issues

Lifting the data siege

Evaluation Centre's overview of the document management software, content management software and business process management (BPM) software market

...The explosion in unstructured data is one of the biggest challenges facing business today. The quantities of documents,images, email and web content in companies are all growing at an astonishing rate.

It is estimated that unstructured data currently accounts for 80% of companies’ overall data and the amount of unstructured data in business is doubling every two years. So how you store, access and manage all this information is becoming increasingly critical for all types of organisation.

Document management is about how you process and manage your information. It addresses the challenges of improving and controlling business practices and processes and is not just a technology implementation. Information also needs to flow through the organisation in a controlled manner as part of a defined business process. Workflow software provides this control, and business process management (BPM) provides a platform for modelling and improving your business processes.

Information should be the lifeblood of any organisation but, according to our latest research, in 57% of companies it is scattered around many different departmental systems and can be hard to find.
