Definition
An ECM system captures, manages and stores content such as processes, strategies, knowledge and documents. This content is made available within a company.
Analysing the individual terms gives the best description of the system:
- Enterprise: Defines which persons or groups have access to the data and what permissions (write, read) they are granted
- Content: Defines the content that can be captured
- Management: Defines that the content can be captured, managed and edited.
