As society demands higher standards for the accuracy and availability of content, ECM 2.0 delivers the underlying platform required to securely manage all content types from user-generated content in social networks to data contained in ERP systems. <P> This book illustrates all the component technologies inherent in an ECM 2.0 system. It describes how enterprise technologies tools paved the way for the adoption of text mining, 3D rendering and immersive environments, mobile access to content and the Semantic Web. Managing Content in the Cloud demonstrates how organizations can optimize the flow of content across the organization to improve productivity, mitigate risk and increase organizational agility.
