Document management vs. content management: What is the difference?
Technology has reached a point where machines can do a lot of the thinking and doing for us – without us even realizing it. Globally, we use computer programs and software for capturing, processing, storing, and managing vast amounts of data on a daily basis. During these processes, we often hear the terms Document Management System (DMS) and Enterprise Content Management (ECM). These are sometimes used interchangeably, adding to the confusion, since they are very different. The best way to distinguish between the two is to remember that not all content is created equal.
