 Overview
This course is aimed at those tasked with planning for and managing the implementation of Enterprise Content Management into their organisation. Cimtech’s companion course An Introduction to Enterprise Content Management (ECM)—see separate leaflet—provides a comprehensive introduction to ECM and this course assumes a basic knowledge of ECM concepts.
This course looks at what is involved in planning and managing an ECM project and provides practical guidance on techniques for information gathering and analysis, on how to conduct a feasibility study and make the business case and on how to define your requirements for ECM and develop the information and records management policies, procedures and tools for your organisation.
Programme
The morning session starts with a review of the stages you need to go through to successfully implement an ECM solution and how to set up and manage an ECM project.
The course then reviews the information gathering and analysis tasks. Guidance is provided on how to review your business activities and current information and records management policies, procedures and systems, and how to develop a classification scheme.
 The afternoon starts with a session on how to analyse your findings and conduct a feasibility study, select the preferred option and make the business case for that option.
The next session looks in more detail at how you define your functional and service requirements for ECM and plan and procure the software and services you need.
The final session looks at how you prepare for and implement your ECM solution, agreeing the information architecture, setting up a proof of concept, roll out and benefits measurement.
The sessions are designed to be interactive with time set aside for discussion.
