Question

What are the primary objectives of the ECM maturity Model? (Project Management)

Answer 1

ECM (enterprise content management) maturity model is a tool for evaluating an organization's performance against a framework of ECM capabilities. ECM refers to a body of strategies, methods, and tools to capture, manage, store and deliver content and documents related to organizational processes. The higher or more mature an organization is assessed against the defined framework the more capable the organization is to leverage its information resources to achieve its goals in the organization. In contrast less or lower the maturity level of the organization the less capable the organization can utilize its information resources and systems to achieve its goals.

The objective of the model is to provide a useful way to measure where an organization stands in a variety of disciplines including content and process management. The model will first identify and quantify the value of major organizational improvement opportunities. The next step is to recommend a comprehensive management transformation initiatives and changes required in the process or content management. Lastly, implement the necessary operating models or management systems and organizational behavior to achieve desired changes in the results.

To conclude the key objective is to help the organization acquire a mature content management system. It will help the organization to become more proactive rather than be reactive. Besides, there is no ideal content and process management system. Each organization has a tremendous opportunity to grow and improve its systems from the currently existing one.
