Center for Digital Government White Paper

Maybe your organization is new to enterprise content management (ECM), or maybe you’ve been stuck using a legacy system that can’t keep up with the pace of business today. Whatever the reason, you’re in the market for something new, and you’re just not sure where to start your search.

The following checklist, which was developed by the Center for Digital Government, can serve as a helpful guide as you review different systems. Look for ECM systems that have:

  • Comprehensive tools for managing data capture and storage, as well as compliance with retention requirements.
  • Process orientation with powerful capabilities for automating workflows based on data and documents.
  • Support for repeatable shared services internally within the organization and collaboration services that involve both documents and processes with other agencies or entities.
  • Open architecture for integration with core business systems such as ERP, CRM and GIS, as well as function-specific applications.
  • Adaptability to allow easy customization for specialized information and workflow needs, supported by created development tools and resources.
  • Non-proprietary file formats with federated search and scalability for highly diverse data and document types.
  • Support for secure data and workflow access from mobile devices, with role-based protections.
  • In-depth audit trails that enhance information detection and integrity.
