Vendor Landscape: Process-Generated Content Management

Every process generates content; manage the content to maximize the value of those processes.

  • Process-generated content management (PGCM) platforms ease the flow of information for repetitive tasks by managing information ingestion and automating metadata tagging.
  • Most organizations still record information on paper and then scan it into the system. The new tools for building and managing e-forms should allow organizations to truly move into the digital age.
  • The line between BPM and PGCM is being blurred. Many of these vendors can handle true business process management, not just workflow.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

  • Process-generated content cannot be divorced from knowledge worker content. The ability to combine the two is critical for engaging end users.
  • Focus on your primary use case and ensure that the RFP and demo reflect the key scenarios that you are looking to enable.
  • Simple workflow tools that are logical and work across device types are a critical part of ECM adoption.

Impact and Result

  • Understand what products are available to support your digital information movement.
  • Evaluate the vendors based on the features that matter to your organization.
  • Determine which products are most appropriate for your particular use case and scenario.
