Curtin flow - Enterprise Content Management for Curtin
 

There is an easier and better way of finding, using, sharing and keeping documents!

As is the case in many organisations, staff at Curtin create, receive and use a lot of information at work. For many of them, this information is in the form of "unstructured content": word processing documents, text files, images, email messages, and web pages.

It's no longer good enough to file this content away in a folder on a computer or a network. Even with the best will in the world, and the best classification and naming conventions in the business, this can still lead to confusion, lost information, and wasted time and effort.

Fortunately, there are now better ways of working with unstructured information using "Enterprise Content Management" (ECM) approaches. Find out more about ECM here. The flow project has been established to help Curtin staff manage their content in ways that enable us to be more productive, efficient, and effective.
