AIIM coined the term Enterprise Content Management<\/a> in 2000. Over the last eight years the scope of ECM has grown. ECM has grown so big that no one company does every category of ECM well and companies like IBM and Oracle are on a buying binge to secure as many category checks as they can.<\/p>\n
