While most experts agree that the 2010 version of SharePoint finally delivers on the promise of a true Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform, it doesn’t by itself provide the complete ECM infrastructure that users want. Rather, it relies on the Microsoft partner ecosystem to provide complimentary technologies for SharePoint. SharePoint customers have come to expect this. In fact, according to recent AIIM research, nearly 80% of SharePoint users expect to use the capabilities of a 3rd party application or add on to get the full ECM functionality they want, and, the top add on technologies they want are BPM/Workflow, search/analytics, Records Management, and Archiving. All of these technologies are document driven and require enterprise capture to achieve their full potential.
In this webinar, Craig Le Clair, Vice President, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research will explain how capture-driven business process management can help you get the most from SharePoint. Craig will describe how you can capture information at the point of origination – inside or outside the firewall – and deliver information into your business processes as fast as possible. With automated classification, extraction, and validation, your information can be drawn from business documents without manual intervention, and used to trigger business processes throughout your organization – to branch offices, field workers, and even your customers’ desktops.
