Class Notes: BPM Research in Education – How to Measure ECM Success

Blog: BPTrends - Class Notes

This Column continues the discussion of ECM (enterprise content management) begun in Jan vom Brocke’s November, 2013 Column. Here he teams up with his Research partners, Andrea Herbst and Nils Urbach, to present a subjective, survey-based tool that assesses an organization’s content-management practices. The tool is available, free of charge, in English, German, and French. The authors encourage readers to apply the ECM success survey to their organizations and provide them with feedback for their ongoing research.
