Decisions, Decisions
But In Reality…
Content:Wikis and ECM
Content Management Features
ECM
Document-focused
Document lifecycle, records & retention mgmt
Fine-grained security
Pre-defined structure and taxonomy
Check in/out & versioning
Wiki
Not restricted to document format
Collaborative creation
Coarse-grained security
User-created taxonomy
Interactive editing with history and rollbacks
Selection Philosophies
ECM Default
Use wikis for pure content that requires no level of security and maximum levels of accessibility.
Use ECM for everything else.
Wiki Default
Use wikis for all internal content by default, unless specific factors dictate the use of ECM.
When To Use A Wiki
Created by multiple authors
Accessible to a wide, internal-only audience
Frequent updating with revision tracking, but no approval or versioning
When To Use ECM
External origin/participants
Only exists as a document, e.g., PDF
Requires precisely-formatted print-ready version
Requires versioning
Requires fine-grained security control
Requires records/retention management
Wiki-to-ECM Transition
Initial collaborative content in wiki for brainstorming
Reformat and check in to ECM as version 1 of controlled document
May continue discussion in wiki with link to document in ECM
Process:Wikis and BPM
Process Management Features
BPM (and ECM)
Predefined structured process
Does not require content
Includes human and automated tasks
Complex branching, rules and event handling
Analytics and KPIs
Wiki
Wiki to manage a process
Case management
Project management
Documentation trail of manual process
Add-ons to manage wiki content lifecycle:
Wiki content approval
Ad hoc human task management
The Line Blurs
BPM gets more unstructured:
Ad hoc process definition
Adaptive case management
Wiki workflow gets more structured:
Predefined workflows
Content lifecycle management
Unstructured human workflow may be done successfully in either
Wiki/ECM/BPM:All Together Now
Use case: Insurance claims
Faxed-in claim reports and customer-facing documents in ECM to manage retention and security
Pre-defined structured claims processes in BPM to meet regulations
Claims exceptions using collaboration capabilities in BPM
Claims best practices and tips in wiki, updated by claims staff
Summary
Clear use cases exist for each of wikis, ECM and BPM
Large overlap between wikis and ECM for internal content
Large overlap between wikis and BPM for unstructured processes
