In this article, we’ll take a look at five ways ECM can put you on a path to a simpler, more efficient IT environment.


The complexity inherent in the health care technology environment is as obvious as it is dynamic. Things can change – and quickly. Many of the contributing factors are external and outside the bounds of your control.
