OVERVIEWEnterprise Content Management (ECM) is not simply a software solution. In full meaning, ECM is the system including
strategies, methods and set of tools used to capture, manage, store and deliver all unstructured content (or information)
of an organization to users, to other applications and to business processes of the organization.
Unstructured information (includes many types such as documents, video, audio, email and reports exported from
business applications, etc.) accounts for 80% of the total information volume of an enterprise. For example, in banking
sector, unstructured information can be loan application documents, account – opening documents, L/C (Letter of
Credit), video of ATM system supervision, recorded calls of customers to Customer service center, etc. This information
makes up for a much larger portion than structured one which is stored as database in such applications as Corebanking,
Switching, card Management System, etc.

80% information of an organization is unstructured
Introduction to the solution An overall ECM solution consists of 2 main components:
Capture of unstructured information and Management
of the captured information.
Capture of unstructured information provides
functionalities as follows:- Capture: : scan documents or import files if scanning
is not required, perform online/offine, capture data
from fax server, etc.
- Classify: Captured documents can be classified
manually or automatically (the system automatically
identifies documents and “learns” taxonomy).
- Extract: information in the document can be
extracted thanks to such technologies as Optical
Character Recognition (OCR), Optical Mark Recogni-
tion (OMR), and Intelligent Character Recognition
(ICR), etc.
- Validate: Users can review and modify all the
automatically extracted information
- Delivery: Captured information and extracted
information can be imported into central repository
or other repositories.
