 Why ECM and Content Management is a Top Business Priority"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Collaboration and compliance are the top two drivers for getting organizations to invest in Enterprise Content Management (ECM).\u00a0 That&#8217;s the conclusion of a recent survery by <a title=\"Trends in ECM in 2010\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.forrester.com\/Research\/Document\/Excerpt\/0,7211,55706,00.html\">Forrester Research<\/a> of 170 ECM decision makers.\u00a0 72% of those organizations will be spending money on ECM in 2010, although maybe that&#8217;s not too surprising, because what else would you expect an &#8216;ECM decision maker&#8217; to do?\u00a0 But what is noteworthy here is that so many

\/><\/p>\n<p>But while the reasons are many for why organizations should invest in ECM, the stumbling block has been to show what the real return on investment (ROI) is from ECM.\u00a0 ECM can bring about dramatic improvements in productivity and can potentially save many many thousands of dollars when used in support of compliance or eDiscovery.\u00a0 Everyone agrees that ECM is good, but putting your finger on exactly what order of magnitude of savings and benefits is still hard.<\/p>\n<div id=\"refHTML\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"gwProxy\" \/><!--Session data--><input
