Cloud Enterprise Content Management
For organizations that need to actively work with their digitized documents, DataMerj, Inc. offers a cloud-based Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform. This system is designed for day-to-day document management—storing, organizing, sharing, and collaborating on active digital content.
ECM vs. LRG+ — A Clear Distinction
Cloud ECM is for records management—working with active documents, collaboration, version control, and daily operations. LRG+ is for records governance—tracking retention schedules, managing legal holds, ensuring regulatory compliance, and controlling disposition of inactive records. These platforms serve different purposes and are intentionally separate to maintain a clear line between operational content management and compliance-focused records governance.
ECM Platform Features
Document Storage & Organization
Centralized repository with folder structures, tags, and metadata for easy organization.
Full-Text Search
Search across all document content and metadata to find what you need instantly.
Version Control
Track document revisions with complete version history and the ability to restore previous versions.
Secure Sharing
Share documents internally or externally with granular permission controls and expiring links.
Workflow Automation
Automate document routing, approvals, and notifications to streamline business processes.
Access Anywhere
Cloud-based platform accessible from any device with an internet connection—no software installation required.
Ideal For
- Organizations transitioning from paper-based to digital workflows
- Teams that need to collaborate on documents across locations
- Businesses requiring secure external document sharing with clients or partners
- Companies looking to digitize and actively use their scanned archives
Active Content Management
Store, organize, search, and collaborate on digital documents—separate from records governance to maintain clear operational boundaries.
