ECM

A proven approach to ECM

Effective ECM, or Enterprise Content Management, brings new efficiency to your business processes, maximizing the value of your information throughout its lifecycle, and helps you leverage your invaluable information in new ways.

There are many ways to implement ECM. At DataBank, we take an analytical approach, taking a comprehensive look at your organization, your future directions and growth, your applications, and the resources that will be required to meet your objectives. We analyze your processes and look for ways to automate and enable the processing of information more quickly. Only then do we suggest a customized ECM solution tailored exactly to the requirements of your company. Whether you're a small business or global industry leader, we have the track record, talent, and resources necessary to implement ECM for you.

We have an extremely high success rate with ECM implementations. Why? Because our methodology and philosophy is to start small—at the departmental level—and deliver exceptional results quickly. Then we can roll out ECM to other departments, meeting each of their unique processing needs—and delivering a total ECM solution to your organization. This real-world approach reduces risk and minimizes interruptions to your day-to-day operation. Compare our approach with more risky, enterprise-wide ECM implementations and we think you'll agree that—as industry statistics show—it's best to start small, prove the value of the system, then move on to the enterprise.

Start by creating digital content

Many organizations begin to explore ECM because they want to go electronic and eliminate inefficient paper-based processes. Our expertise as a document management and document scanning company ensures that we can convert all of your paper-based documents into digital format. DataBank can help you scan your paper, microfilm, or other records such as oversized engineering drawings or architectural blueprints. We can digitize your information at your location or you can transfer your documents to one of our nine full-service, fully-integrated production facilities located strategically throughout the country, where we remove the burden of paper handling.

ECM—right-sized for your organization

ECM means a lot of different things to different organizations, depending on size, industry, and current infrastructure. We work closely with you to design and implement a system that matches your specific needs, that integrates seamlessly with your current infrastructure, and that scales seamlessly far into the future.

Implementing an ECM system doesn't mean getting rid of your current servers, networks, and imaging equipment. It means getting new value from what you have today, and complementing it with new, powerful technology that helps your organization handle content in a way that helps your business achieve its goals, cost-effectively.
