A number of software development companies recently designed the ECM Maturity Model, which allows organizations using ECM solutions to align business and technology efforts in hope of improving efficiency. Wipro, Hartman and Smigel Consulting worked together to create the solution, along with independent company CMS Watch.

Even as new technologies have taken over enterprise IT communications, faxing still remains an easy way for organizations to send documents quickly. With this in mind, Open Text recently announced investments to its enterprise fax software have led to an increased lead in its global market share.

Faxing remains a primary method of closing transactions, especially those involving signatures. By expanding its investment, Open Text has made the process easier, faster and less expensive for companies still relying on fax machines. The process is still used heavily within the mortgage, healthcare and insurance industries since most transactions in these areas still require signatures or confirmations.
