Global Enterprise Content Management Market 2014-2018 with EMC, IBM, Hyland Software, Microsoft, OpenText & Oracle Dominating
M2 - Mon Jul 07, 8:25AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hxx958/global_enterprise) has announced the addition of the "Global Enterprise Content Management Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. One of the major drivers in the market is the need to increase productivity and efficiency. With the globalization of companies, the customer base has expanded exponentially. This forces enterprises to communicate regularly with their customers. As most communication between enterprises and their customers is in the form of documents such as letters, statements, bills, and marketing materials, a large quantity of documents are created and delivered. ECM solutions enable organizations to share documents in real time, share information, and discuss issues and provide solutions in a much shorter time period than was possible before. In the past, SMEs had limited options when adopting a system that would ensure optimal business performance. This was because they did not require, or could not afford, all the features of enterprise-class software systems. Their options were limited to freeware, low-end, or open-source solutions that mainly focused on server or network monitoring. In the last few years, many SMEs have become increasingly aware of the significance of complete visibility of their operational performance and its impact on their businesses. This trend has created an opportunity for ECM solution vendors to develop new versions of their products and attract SMEs, thus improving their presence in this market. Also, with growing operations, SMEs need to find a solution for their content, storage, and other features. These needs are encouraging SMEs to shift toward ECM solutions. The Global Enterprise Content Management market consists of five major segments: - Document Management Systems - Web Content Management Systems - Document Centric Collaboration - Records Management - Document Imaging. Key Vendors - EMC Corp. - IBM Corp. - Hyland Software Inc. - Microsoft Corp. - OpenText Corp. - Oracle Corp.

Hence, enterprises employing SaaS-based ERP software can shift their focus from frequent software updates, maintenance, continuous trouble-shooting, and increasing storage requirements, and thus concentrate on their core business activities.
