Enterprise content Management

[MangeshP]

Dear Friends,

Enterprise content Management is part of portal. But is it part of SAP DMS module.

I have confusion that a SAP DMS consultant should know SAP Enterprise content management.

As I know A SAP DMS consultant should have knowledge of Web DMS, Easy DMS. So in same way is it necessary to have knowledge of SAP ECM.

With Warm Regard

Hi Mangesh,

Enterprise content management is a systematic approach via a set of tools/methods that enable an enterprise/organization to capture,organize, store and deliver information crucial to its operations.This can be via solutions like SAP DMS,SAP Arhcivelink,SAP Enterprise portal,Open Text,Records Management Sytems,Documentum,Livelink et-al.

Document Management has some overlap with the concepts of other types of Content Management and is often viewed as a component of Enterprise Content Management Systems.

Coming back to your question, SAP EP/DMS are themselves components of Enterprise content management system.

P.S. ECM in SAP parlance stands for Engineering Change Mangement.

I think there are too many components for the average consultant to know everything relating to ECM in SAP.

ECM from an SAP perspective would effectively encompass:

SAP DMS

SAP ArchiveLink

SAP KM

SAP Data Archiving

SAP Cfolders

SAP Enterprise Search

SAP Classification

SAP Engineering Change Management

SAP Web Content Management

SAP Records Management.

This is simply too wide a range of specialisation to focus on and although you may come to know some of them, its unlikely you would have the level of knowledge to be an expert in all areas.
