Enterprise Content Management Strategy
March 2010
Introduction
We like most Universities are drowning in documents —
from applications for enrollment, student records, and
human resource forms. A clear strategy is needed for our
faculty, staff, and departments to manage their documents
throughout their lifecycle.
What is Content Management?
Imaging capture software and scanners needed for paper
documents making text searchable and retrievable
Workflow automatically routing files to the appropriate places
and providing a mechanism for approvals online
Collaboration providing communities for team collaboration and
making it easy for users to work together
Document management using content management software
needed for storing, sharing, security, and accessing

strategy that will meet customer goals and utilize existing
University solutions.
