By definition, Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is a formal and effective means of obtaining, organising, storing, preserving and delivering information, pertinent to the successful operation of any organisation. Enterprise Video Content Management, on the other hand, is similar to ECM but uses a cloud-based service for video content management.
The goal of enterprise video content management
AIIM or the Association for Information and Image Management is a global community of information professionals and can be identified as five major components of ECM/EVCM:
-
Capture
-
Manage
-
Store
-
Preserve
-
Deliver
In a nutshell, these five major components are briefly defined with capture pertaining to the creation, organisation, and collection of information. The Manage element is responsible for using, processing or modifying information, where Store relates to changing information and backing it up in the short term. Preserve is just like storing information but with a longer time span. Deliver is the finishing process of providing both clients and users with the gathered information.
Achieving ECM/EVCM effectively
Effective enterprise video content management software services should be able to provide:
Quick and easy streamline access – while heads of an organisation can access data, third party users may gain access that may be defined as ‘read-only’ or ‘read/write’ access.
Reduce or totally eliminate bottlenecks – ‘bottlenecks’ in a business enterprise refers to a stage that causes the entire system to suddenly slow down or come to a complete stop. In the context of content management, bottlenecks happen when data flow suddenly stops or is impaired. This usually happens due to an inadequate data handling capacity or a large volume of access traffic.
Optimise information sharing security – information passing through the web needs protection, especially if it’s a matter of confidential business information. Optimised information security can only be achieved through the use of technology and security measures such as security certificates and security permission.
Maintain data integrity – data integrity guarantees that only authorised personnel are allowed to access and/or modify existing data and information. This goes hand in hand with security optimisation, as mentioned above.
Minimise ‘overhead’ – in telecommunications, ‘overhead’ is the time required to process information. This involves the time it takes for your enterprise video content management software to load after checking code errors and controlling transmissions.
Experience a unique combination of cloud-based centralised servers, high quality videos, efficient video content delivery and the highest quality of live streaming. Kontiki’s Enterprise Content Delivery Network can deliver all of this without debilitating your network traffic.
