    The main purpose of storing information is for easy retrieval in the future when it is required. Storing certain information may be part of company policy. There will be procedures in place in order to make sure files are stored correctly and in line with data protection. Depending on the type of information, information can be stored in either filing cabinets or electronically. Depending on the nature of the business, different types of information will have to be stored, for example a legal practice needs information such as court papers and legal documents where as a car company may only need to keep a record of personal details. Information about the company can be kept as well, highly confidential files related to the company or employees or customers / clients. So files have to be stored following all the confidentiality procedures and protected according to data protection act. The purpose of information retrieval is to provide quality service for the right person at the right time, with all the required information in hand. Only if data is stored in a procedural manner it can be easily retrieved. Information might be retrieved for marketing purposes, for communications with clients, for monitoring purposes, and other research that the business might conduct.…

    Howard Shao and John Newton founded Documentum in 1990. Their vision was to develop a new class of software database for automating the management of structured and unstructured documents across enterprises. Traditional databases only managed structured information that could be neatly stored in rows and columns. Such examples include but are not limited to inventory levels, financial statement and manufacturing data. These traditional databases were limited in their ability to store unstructured documents such as compound documents, graphics, electronic mail, scanned images, multi-media, training manuals, marketing collateral, and regulatory submissions. After listening to repeated complaints from customers at Ingress about the problems with unstructured data, Shao and Newton began to pioneer solutions. Initially, they worked to compile documents from different departments using relational databases. In the process of finding the solution for the unstructured data issue they founded Documentum, calling their service enterprise document management. The system’s primarily focus is the capture, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of digital files for enterprise use.…

    Documentum was founded by Howard Shao and John Newton in 1990. These two database engineers after hearing about the problems their customers at Ingress were faced when they tried to put several documents from different departments together, decided to create software that would allow the management of unstructured information as documents and hence they created what they called “Enterprise document management”. Currently that term has evolved to what is now called “Enterprise content management”. According to IT Experts: “ECM systems primarily focus on the capture, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of digital files for enterprise use and their life-cycle management”. In order to fully understand what these engineers sought to create we need to take a more in depth look at what is Documentum.…

    When accounting files are sent to the archives at the end of the year, the portion taken up by the accounts payable documents usually exceeds that of all other documents combined. For some companies with high accounts payable files, it is a major expense to remove all the paperwork, box it up and identify it, and ship it off to a warehouse, from which it must be recalled occasionally for various tasks. Digitizing the documents is a means of avoiding the expense of archiving. Digitizing a document means that it is laid on a scanner that converts the document image into an electronic image stored in the computer database, which can be recalled by anyone with access to the database. To digitize a document, there should be a high-speed scanner available that is linked to a computer network. Documents are fed into the scanner and assigned one or more index numbers or codes, so that it will be easy to recall the correct documents from storage. For example, a document can be indexed by its purchase order number, date, or supplier number. A combination of several indexes is the best approach, since one can still recall a document, even if one does not remember the first index number. The document images are usually stored on an optical disk since it can hold enormous amounts of storage space (and digitized documents take up a lot of computer storage space). There will probably be many optical disks to provide a sufficient amount of storage, so the disks are usually stored in a “jukebox,” which gives the user access to all the data on all the storage disks. Users can then call up the images from any terminal that is linked to the network where the information is stored.…
