Enterprise Content Management
There exists a massive volume of data at the core of every business. While over 80% of corporate data resides in a paper format, volumes of structured and unstructured digital data are created every day.
Those organizations that best manage this data can ultimately enjoy the first right of refusal in making better business decisions faster than their competition. We say "first right of refusal" because not all organizations are taking full advantage of the most effective technologies and process designs currently available. They may be using outdated proprietary software solution models that annually drain their organizations of monies better spent on their core business or other initiatives.
This is not a situation unique to private industry. Federal and State government agencies spend incredible amounts of their budget every year on "per seat user licenses," some of which may not even be used. This represents a great deal of capital that could be recouped and repurposed in a time when every dollar matters.
Guident has built a practice around the concept that Open Source Enterprise Content Management (ECM) represents the strongest opportunity for our clients to achieve more at a greatly reduced cost of ownership. The leaders of this practice each have over 30 years experience in integrating both analog and digital content solutions across the United States. Our passion is in creating stronger, faster solutions at a fraction of the current costs.
Assess
The centerpiece of our ECM Practice is our assessment methodology for evaluating the current client state. By creating a well-mapped model of the existing flow of content, our ECM toolset will aid us in assessing potential platform and/or process changes with a corresponding "return on investment" and a hard reduction in future operating cost targets.
Protect
Guident also recognizes that eDiscovery is emerging as a very real threat to both public and private organizations. That is why we insure that Litigation Response Planning is considered in every one of our ECM engagements. Significantly reducing costs isn't enough to insure future success. Protecting your organization and improving your ability to react is an ECM design filter you can't afford to ignore.
Deliver
Guident has the knowledge and experience to develop and implement a complete enterprise content strategy, concentrate on targeted solutions from start to finish, or perform evaluations that lead to successfully completing challenging ECM projects currently underway. Guident can also perform migrations and upgrades of existing older systems to the most cost effective platforms available today. With broad technical experience, deep document industry and business process expertise, Guident can mobilize the right people, skills, and technologies to create the correct enterprise solution in the modern high-speed information climate.
Guident stands ready to "Assess" your current content architecture, "Protect" against potential litigation risks, and "Deliver" measurable results!
