Hummingbird Enterprise™ 2005 

logoHummingbird Enterprise 2005 represents the evolution of Enterprise Content Management. In addition to facilitating the sound control and management of business content via its industry leading ECM platform, Hummingbird Enterprise 2005 offers organizations a true framework to deploy content-driven industry- and process-specific solutions that mitigate risk, reduce costs, and generate business advantage.

It is the foundation for streamlining and automating such critical processes as regulatory compliance, contract management, correspondence management, practice support for law firms, deal room management, and e-mail management.

Enterprise content management has moved from a tactical technology solution for managing increasing volumes and centralizing access to business information into the realm of strategic imperative for delivering cost savings and generating business advantage.

"Think of enterprise content management as a strategy rather than a project or product. Plan for a consistent enterprise-wide content architecture. Identify the particular functions you need and ensure that the solution you're considering integrates them adequately. An ECM suite will make sense for most companies, but vendors differ in the number of components they offer and in the level of integration."

The 'Building Blocks' of Enterprise Content Management
ECM systems are comprised of an integrated suite of content-focused modules that provide the following functionality:

Document Management
- for library services such as check-in and checkout, version control, and user and document-level security for business documents

Document Imaging
- for capturing (scanning), profiling, and archiving paper-based content, including forms, facsimiles, engineering drawings, and graphics.

Records Management
(optional) - for classifying documents and other content as business records in support of legal or regulatory compliance, archival, and automation of retention policies.
