EnhancedIT is Evolving ...

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) software

The technology division within Enhanced (EnhancedIT) is evolving thanks to their new Technical Director, John Clough.

John is focussing on ensuring that businesses are making the most of their information, whether that is providing the tools to manage that information, or the computer network to store it.

In 2005 Butler Group concluded that 80% of information within an organisation is unstructured. At the same time Korn Ferry stated that 90% of learned information within organisations is not shared. Since then data has continued to grow exponentially while in most organisations the information issues haven’t been addressed;

- paper documents are difficult to find and expensive to store.

- information is only available to the person who is in possession of that document or file and only from the location that the document is stored.

- there is no back up if the document goes missing.

EnhancedIT use Enterprise Content Management (ECM) tools so that you can capture, manage, store, preserve, collaborate, and deliver content and documents related to organisational processes. We back that up by delivering network solutions that keep all your information secure.

ECM has been successfully employed by many large companies to resolve information issues. Previously this technology has been unattainable by Small and Medium organisations due to the cost of storage and communications. With data storage becoming ever cheaper, the barrier is no longer costs but more the challenge of changing attitudes to the use of existing processes.

But even change can be made easy. Consider a simple process; registration of a purchase invoice. At the moment these are likely to be received entered on to your business software, a unique reference hand written and the document filed. With just one small change, sticking a printed bar code instead of hand writing a reference number that document can be stored electronically.

The benefits are;

- It's easy to find by a simple search on the computer.

- It can be accessed by everyone who has authority to do so irrespective of their location.

- It is backed up on a daily basis.

- The document can be the start of a managed process (for example authorisation of that purchase invoice).

Start 2010 with a competitive edge, call John on 01202 890244, he will be only to happy to talk you through the benefits ECM can have on your business.
