FileNet, the leading provider of Enterprise Content and Business Process Management solutions, has announced that its FileNet P8 ECM (Enterprise Content Management) platform and Records Manager suite is being adopted by a number of Fortune 1000 companies to meet their regulatory compliance needs.
FileNet Records Manager suite offers customers a comprehensive records management solution that helps enforce compliance, by automating and streamlining an organization’s records-based procedures and reducing unnecessary end-user participation in the processing of records.
"The growing demand among Fortune 1000 companies for FileNet Records Manager reflects the effectiveness of the suite in addressing organizations' regulatory compliance requirements, and makes it one of the most successful product launches for FileNet," Carlo Stellati, Vice President, South Europe, Middle East and Africa, FileNet, said. "The Records Manager suite allows businesses to automatically enforce records management policies, comply with records retention policies, lower operational costs and improve productivity."
"Without the means for easily categorizing business records for effortless retrieval or classifying key e-mail messages as business records from basic non-critical emails, organizations are virtually creating 'digital landfills' where every record is stored, but no record is easily found. FileNet Records Manager addresses this problem by helping organizations to organize, securely store and quickly retrieve essential company records," Stellati said.
The market for records management is set to grow to US$ 1.1 billion by 2006, according to analyst firm Forrester Research.
FileNet Records Manager is powered by FileNet’s "ZeroClick" technology, which ensures best-practice records declaration, classification and administration while minimizing the impact on the business user and the records manager. ZeroClick brings content and business processes together to facilitate and accelerate information exchange, and responds to business or transaction events.
"By leveraging FileNet P8’s Business Process Management (BPM) capabilities, FileNet ZeroClick solution enforces records management policies at the server layer, enabling companies to reduce cost and error potential, while ensuring records policy enforcement and lower cost administration," Stellati said.
FileNet Records Manager complements the company’s newest FileNet P8 product suite, FileNet eMail Manager, which is designed to help organizations manage the growing use of corporate eMail for effective storage and retrieval of corporate eMail as business records. The combination of FileNet eMail Manager and FileNet Records Manager offers significant business benefits such as reducing corporate risks through tightly integrated Records Management capabilities.
