Top 7 Worst Ways To Execute An Enterprise Content Management Solution

Written by Chloe Bennet  on July 12, 2019

Enterprise content management is usually a really strong tool for creating a regulated and efficient approach for creating and distributing corporate content. Establishing the enterprise content management solution that your team wants is a much more delicate process than a lot of people consider it. Wrongly establishing the system can actually eliminate the point of creating it in the first place, destroying efficiency and undoing any potential results which are to be potentially garnered. So, with that said, let’s take a look at what can go wrong when you try and execute your enterprise content management solution.

1. Forgetting What You Previously Did

Old habits with this sort of operation can be pretty dangerous and detrimental to being able to move forward with fresh solutions. The creation and implementation of an enterprise content management solution are specifically created to move past the ghosts of past programs and, getting bogged down in old habits is like shooting yourself in the foot. So, keep that in mind while you move ahead.

2. Allowing Miscommunication At The Root Of Implementation

Communication is the absolute essence of creating this sort of system. The communication can’t be skimped on at any stage in the process, least of all the implementation stage. “When you create a system for content management, but your head into it with poor communication you leave yourself very vulnerable to total collapse further down the line. To avoid this you want all goals, all potential issues to be discussed candidly and openly from the get-go”, says Charlie Harris, ECM expert at Academized and BestBritishEssays.

3. Overreliance On New And Flashy Software

As we continue, as a civilization, to embrace the constant development of technology, some of the most important advances in ECM practice come in the form of new technologies. In fact, it’s true to say that technology is often the fundamental aspect of some of the most efficient ECM practices. However, technology, particularly the most advanced and well-developed technology, can be misleading in how influential it ought to be allowed to be. It can’t be looked to as a solution for all issues and it should be treated as an excellent addition to a well-oiled system, not the saving grace of a system that is flawed at every turn.

4. Failing To Optimize Security Systems

Security compliance is vital for hardy system structure when it comes to ECM. Being in violation is a pointless vulnerability to create when you just need a bit of vigilance to create a system that is bulletproof from a security perspective. Communications and control over the flow and access of data is the main part of giving yourself a great security system, so attend to this with care. Data is particularly important since security issues in that area can actually cause legal repercussions.

5. Not Creating A Business Continuity Plan

As the old saying tells it if you fail to plan you plan to fail. A business continuity plan can give you an excellent way to test your efficiency, a standard against which you can hold the realities of the day to day operations. If you don’t have a plan, then testing the process of maintenance and accessibility of content is made essentially impossible.

6. Ignoring Past Experience

This is a very obvious point that can be extremely helpful in a plethora of situations, not merely those relating to ECM. “When you create any sort of system that relates to ECM, particularly if you are making headway in the field, it’s always vital to take past situations into account. It is so easy to needlessly make the same mistakes when you can just use hindsight to your advantage”, explains Henrietta Barr, tech media writer at Essayroo and UKTopWriters.

7. Failing To Meet Industry Standards

Compliance to content control standards set by your industry-wide metrics can get you in a lot of trouble. Why risk the whole system when, with research, you can sort it all out with ease.

Conclusion

Overall, ECM solutions can be easily and effectively implemented to change and advance your company’s attitudes towards content storage, distribution and management. Hopefully, this list will stop you from making any unnecessary errors in this regard.
