Analyst Insight:
“Enterprise Content Management helps organizations take control of their information by turning scattered content into a centralized, strategic asset,” says Andrea Malick, principal advisory director at Info-Tech Research Group. “Without a strong ECM system, teams often struggle with inefficiencies, security gaps, and compliance risks. By streamlining content workflows and improving access to information, ECM supports better collaboration, faster decision-making, and stronger regulatory alignment. As AI becomes more embedded in business operations, having well-structured and accessible content is no longer optional. AI can only deliver real value when it draws from content that is accurate, organized, and easy to locate.”
