Enterprise Input Management: Feeding Information Lifecycle Management, From Chaos To Control

Organizations remain overwhelmed with information in the digital age. The sources of this "chaos" are varied at the individual company level, but share basic premises for general business growth, compliance with new regulations and customer retention and expansion. It is factors such as these that necessitate a higher degree of communication between companies and their stakeholders, including customers, partners, and employees.

Most information originates outside an enterprise's IT infrastructure and, as such, many companies are seeking new ways to more efficiently manage both the scale and diversity of incoming documents. Just as companies have automated the variety of "output" they manage, they are now seeking solutions that automate the processing of "input." This is the foundation for enterprise input management or EIM.
