Challenge
Organizations are under constant pressure to improve their operational efficiency and productivity. At the same time, organizations must address regulatory requirements and properly control information used within the organization to reduce their risk. Unfortunately, the document intensive nature of many business processes makes it extremely difficult to operate efficiently or to properly control and share information. In many organizations manual processes and paper handling are typical. Thus, many organizations are turning to technology solutions for document and content management.

Overview
Flavor Technology sees document and content management and collaboration systems as a way to streamline processes, transform documents into digital assets to support better decision-making, allow users to focus on business priorities instead of time consuming administrative tasks, and centrally control and share content in response to growing regulatory and legal requirements. However, implementing a content management system or repository is only part of the solution.
Comprehensive document management for the business also requires effective input and secure capture of documents, so they can be converted into electronic assets that can be used in downstream business processes. In addition, comprehensive content management for the business requires an environment that supports multiple channels of information output and distribution.
These aspects of content management are critical components of overall efficiency and productivity – especially in environments that require distributed capture and distributed output, but with centralized management and control. These challenges are often compounded by the fact that many organizations are looking to consolidate their IT operations.
Businesses are striving to get more leverage from the systems they have already deployed, and to leverage their investments across the organization wherever possible in an effort to reduce total cost of ownership. Unfortunately, when it comes to document management and content management, many organizations have deployed specialized solutions at the departmental level. This leads to functional redundancy, higher cost of ownership (in terms of maintenance, training, etc.), and a limited ability to standardize the technology across the business. In addition, deploying components in a one-off-fashion lessens the ability to effectively integrate the components with existing systems that may already be deployed within the organization limiting the ability to gain optimal efficiency and to leverage information assets across the business.
