These operations include in particular the following:

• Immediate capture of documents. The ECM process begins with the capture process—the process of importing information into a digital repository.
• Safe document storage. With powerful enterprise content management systems, organizations can easily store critical business documents in a digital repository and view or edit them in real-time.
• Full-text search and recovery. Find documents instantly by selecting specific words or phrases within the texts, metadata, annotations, and the names of the entries in them.
• Automation of business processes. Through digital automation, organizations can easily plan the stages of any business process and automatically route documents to the right people at the right time.
• Securing multi-level documents. Control information across the organization by restricting access to folders, documents, fields, annotations, and other properties of multi-level documents.
• Digitally capture, direct and approve forms. Replacing paper forms with electronic forms for digitally capturing and sharing information across the organization.
