According to AIIM (the enterprise content management association):
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is the strategies, methods and tools used to capture, manage, store, preserve, and deliver content and documents related to organizational processes. ECM tools and strategies allow the management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information exists.
Enterprise content management systems combine a wide variety of technologies and components, some of which can also be used as stand-alone systems without being incorporated into an enterprise-wide system.
The diagram below illustrates the 5 categories of ECM components.
The Capture category contains components for generating, capturing, preparing and processing analog and electronic information. This includes tecnologies such as:
Store components are used for the temporary storage of information which it is not required or desired to archive. Even if it uses media that are suitable for long-term archiving, Store is still separate from Preserve.
The Deliver components of ECM are used to present information from the Manage, Store, and Preserve components. The "Deliver" components comprise three groups of technologies:
transformation technologies: personalization, conversion, compression, syndication, etc.
security technologies: electronic signatures, digital rights management and watermarking.
