IBM Enterprise Content Management (ECM) provides an integrated approach to help you manage content wherever it is created and used across your organization with Microsoft products – from desktop applications like Microsoft Word to collaboration and communication tools such as Microsoft Outlook and SharePoint. IBM offers integration and support for Microsoft products to help organizations maximize their Microsoft and IBM investments. IBM ECM bridges the gap between desktop authoring and collaboration for business documents and a comprehensive Enterprise Content Management (ECM) infrastructure.
The integrated approach is part of the broader IBM ECM Business Content Services (BCS) strategy. BCS extends the ECM infrastructure to include business documents created individually and collaboratively, every day, across diverse and decentralized workgroups.
