Companies using ECM will collectively create a Green future.\u00a0 That’s the predictionof the analyst group Gartner.<\/p>\n

Being able to store records and documents in electronic form is considerably more environment-friendly compared to paper.\u00a0 For example, paper archived in storage vaults is often maintained at a constant temperature to prevent degradation, requiring a lot of energy to create the correctly cooled\/heated environment.<\/p>\n

“The 1980’s notion of a paperless office was about how technology could bring efficiency and change work styles,” said Mark Gilbert, an analyst at Gartner. “Organizations are realizing that process improvements and the move away from paper to electronic processes can also bring green benefits, such as energy savings from paper production, distribution, usage and disposition, and transit through the postal system.”<\/p>\n

Gartner recommends six areas where companies can use ECM to both become more efficient while at the same time being more environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0 Make information capture more efficient.
\n2)\u00a0 Understand that storing paper can be very energy intensive compared to electronic document storage
\n3)\u00a0 Build an ECM strategy
\n4)\u00a0 Consider outsourcing content management to an outside vendor
\n5)\u00a0 Build Content-Enabled Vertical Applications (CEVAs) on top of your ECM system to leverage your electronic assets and to automate processes
\n6)\u00a0 Leverage ECM and electronic communication with customers, partners, and internally in your organization<\/p>\n
