Another year has come and gone. 2017 was certainly a year of change in the ECM industry. One of the biggest headlines and most talked about throughout the year was that of the OpenText acquisition of Documentum. People are still taking the time to speculate about the future of Documentum, and OpenText has been quick to shut down negative narratives. While the acquisition was big news, there were plenty of other changes in the ECM market than that.
Will 2018 Be the End of Legacy Systems?

Bridge the Content Divide: Dynamics and ECM
It is not uncommon for organizations to implement several different systems in which their employees must do their work like an ECM, or a CRM /ERP like Microsoft Dynamics. Based on a user’s role in the organization, they are going to use specific systems that are vital to getting their work done. For instance, a sales team probably does a majority of their work in a CRM, like Microsoft Dynamics. However, they are also likely to spend some of their time storing documents within a content management system, like NetDocuments. Whether you’re a law firm, financial institution, or government agency, your organization might want to integrate these different systems together to help improve business processes and workflow.
