ECM is moving to the cloud
Digital transformation is radically disrupting the business world. The pace of market change and the speed of innovation require that today’s companies operate in a market landscape that is more competitive than ever. To adapt to this new, digitally disrupted business landscape, many companies are re-examining the way they work.
As part of this broad digital reckoning, enterprises are also rethinking the way they manage content and finding that traditional Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions are no longer enough to keep up. Legacy, on-premise ECM solutions are unable to support the range of new content use cases companies require to function in the digital age, from collaboration across the extended enterprise, to agile and intelligent business processes to building exceptional customer experiences.
Fortunately, legacy ECM solutions aren’t the only option for large enterprises looking to securely and efficiently manage their content. Cloud-based ECM solutions are poised to displace legacy ECM as the preferred way to manage content, foster digital business processes and enable employees across the extended digital workplace.
With Cloud Content Management (CCM), Box provides the security of a traditional ECM system with the usability, mobility and user- friendliness that companies and workers expect today. And by providing a consolidated content layer in the cloud, Box makes it easy to integrate with a broad range of best-in-breed ECM vendors to form a complete, cloud-based ECM solution. This enables businesses to handle everything from simple content use cases, such as sharing files on mobile devices, to more complex business processes like document retention, workflow and custom process integration.
By managing enterprise content in the cloud with Box, businesses can rise to the challenge of transforming digitally, improve operational processes and build the exceptional customer experiences necessary to stay competitive in the digital age.
