Don't chose SharePoint for your ECM system "just because it's there." Stay focused on the normal IT project steps: requirements definition, cost justification, and system evaluation. This white paper reminds you to build your business case, identify your functional requirements, and inventory your integration points before you consider your ECM vendor options. You will then be in better position to decide what specific functionalities and vendor support you need, and whether and where to use SharePoint. You will also see what strategies other organizations have adopted for SharePoint in relation to their other content repositories, both new and existing.
