For most organizations, information has a split personality. It can be the foundation for competitive differentiation—from faster cycle time and reduced operating costs to improved R&D and streamlined compliance. Or by sheer volume and complexity alone, it can thwart productivity, waste time and resources, and strain the IT infrastructure that supports it.
The key to utilizing information successfully—rather than being overwhelmed by it—is the ability to efficiently capture and manage large volumes of information from disparate sources. Business critical information arrives in many forms: paper, fax, and a variety of electronic data formats. All of it must be transformed into intelligent content that can feed enterprise applications such as enterprise content management (ECM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM), and other information systems.
Often a business faced with these challenges will apply a point solution where it feels the greatest need. Soon there are many point solutions. Then coordinating and integrating them simply compound the original information management problem.
The answer to this dilemma is EIM. EIM enables organizations to cope with enormous volumes of information, accelerate information time to value, and reduce the IT burden of supporting multiple point solutions.
