What is content management in the era of AI

Embracing the age of modern solutions

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) for many years was the foundation of content organization and management. As business needs continue to expand, and content is growing at incredible pace and scale, technology needs to evolve alongside it. With that, ECM has been considered obsolete due to its limitations and the emergence of more flexible, integrated solutions. The shift towards Content Services and Intelligent Information Management (IIM) offers modular, intelligent, and accessible content management practices that meet modern organizational needs more effectively.

The new era of work

Content is the lifeblood of your organization. It’s what we use to share ideas, work together, and make decisions. But content can also be a challenge. There’s so much of it, in so many different formats, and you need to keep it secure.

We’re making and using more content than ever – billions of new documents are added every business day. And content is more than just traditional documentation – it includes PDFs, meeting recordings, video files, invoices, contracts, and more -spanning across a growing range of content types, many of which are unstructured forms of information or handwritten documentation. And with the immergence of generative AI, even more content will be created every year at a scale never seen before.

Some common needs you’ve probably heard of:

Unify multiple content platforms and break down information silos while preventing content sprawl
Automate content and document processing
Deliver and work with content in the flow of work with integrated content management
Balancing ease of use with IT security and compliance so you can collaborate with confidence

Since content is at the core of every business and every business process, it’s essential that resources are used efficiently.

What is content management?

Content management encompasses a collection of AI-powered services that add value to the content you create and puts the content to work for you. Being able to organize, find, and manage content through its lifecycle is crucial for a successful business. With a rich amount of content service tools available you can automate normally mundane tasks, safeguard, secure, and manage sensitive data and information, or create net new content from metadata.
