Enterprise Content Management

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) picture of Webinar intro page2 300x188Last week I had the opportunity to take part in a webinar on digital mail and Systemware’s Digital Mail Gateway, our new solution that transforms customer communications and delivers them to digital mail providers.

Statements, bills, invoices, policy information, rewards program updates, declarations pages, proxy statements and annual reports are just some of the communications that can be effectively delivered digitally at a much lower cost than paper.

Information is fed into the Digital Mail Gateway in its existing form. There it’s segmented and packaged for delivery to the digital mail providers. It’s one solution, one point of integration, delivered to all the different channels. [Read more…]

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) picture of DataTransferSome businesses are drowning in data, and it’s not just the sheer volume that’s a concern. When different business units have different and incompatible enterprise content management systems, information isn’t as easily shared. Mergers and acquisitions bring their own integration headaches, as do redundant systems, multiple vendors, and shifts from mainframes to distributed operating systems. More than ever, companies are looking for effective content conversion solutions that will help them migrate, store, manage and access large stores of information.

In exploring data conversion, managers tend to focus on five objectives. They want seamless migration. They want it to be fast. They want scalability. They want to improve customer service. And they want to lower their cost of ownership. Some ECM providers like to talk about cheaper, faster and better, but few can deliver all three in the same solution. To be truly effective, a conversion strategy must identify the most efficient ways to migrate documents to formats such as PDF or XML; and when required convert to the new platform quickly and seamlessly without downtime or disruption.

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) picture of Gordon Sellers croppedClarity. That seemed to be the watchword at the panel discussion on medical banking I hosted Monday at TEXPO 2012, the annual treasury management conference hosted by the Dallas Association for Financial Professionals.

Appearing with me were my Systemware colleague Andrea Chiappe and Laurie Masscurro from Bank of Oklahoma Financial. We had a tough act to follow — luncheon speaker Boone Pickens – but we managed to attract an audience of bankers and others interested in “Lessons Learned in Remittance Processing Implementations.”

All three of us talked about clarity, beginning with a bank’s overall goal. That’s to generate a file their customer can post, even though systems vary. Obviously, the cleaner (or clearer) banks can make the end result the better. And for clear communication, we talked about the importance of investing time in learning exactly what medical people are talking about. [Read more…]

  • CBS News fretted, “In the world of Big Data, privacy invasion is the business model.”
  • And tech firms raced to make Big Data-related announcements at the Strata Conference 2012, where speaker after speaker addressed the topic. [Read more…]
