This report provides an analysis of Enterprise Content and Record Management (ECRM) systems, focusing on three vendors: IBM ECM, Oracle Sales Cloud, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The report details the ECRM functions offered by each vendor, such as electronic document management (EDM) and enterprise record management (ERM), and provides a comparative analysis of their strengths and weaknesses. Strengths include layered approaches, user-friendly interfaces, and cloud computing applications, while weaknesses involve complexity, inconsistent user interfaces, and limited device compatibility. The report also provides examples of organizations utilizing these systems, such as organizations using Oracle Sales Cloud and Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The comparison extends to cloud computing applications, content management capabilities, and compliance with industry standards like HL7 CDA, offering insights into how these systems can enhance teamwork, data management, and compliance within healthcare settings.

The various functions
of the IBM ECM are
mainly used in a
layered approach.

help in the additional
functionality for the
selection of work by
the user. The
functions of the
ECRM is also to
directly interact with
the user in order to
solve issues that
would be deployed
within the
environment
(Paliouras & Siakas).
The Oracle Sales
Cloud should be able
to identify the
visibility pattern of
the se of the various
extensions. The
ECRM would also

security of the
system, functions of
the various
applications and data
(Mehta, 2013).
They help in providing
with several tools for the
purpose of managing
each step of the process
of sales. They also
support the processes of
resolving the issues of the
customers.
Strengths The IBM ECM is a
handy and efficient
tool that would be
able to save the

This form of ECM
offer the best
security of the
information of the
enterprise within any
industry.
They would also
offer several kind of
choices during

CRM based on the
demand of products.
The releases of Microsoft
Dynamics CRM mainly
focus on the improvement
of the interface used by
the users and their
experience.
They are also improving
their focus on business
intelligence, which would
help in empowering their
users for analyzing the
information without the
support of IT.

Weaknesses The product suite
comprises of extreme
flexibility but they
also have a high level
of complexity.
They have a less
consistent UI based
on their software
products.
They should focus on
improvement of each
of their releases for
improving their
collaboration and
flexibility for the
application
developers.
The user experience
and UI do not
compete with the
competitors of SaaS
CRM.
There are certain
functions that are
only supported by
the IE browser.
They do not have a
proper form of email
synchronization with
Gmail.
Although the
solutions that are
provided for the
mobile based are
good, yet they are
limited to a certain
number of devices.
The process of updating
of the Microsoft
Dynamics CRM could be
tax based.
They do not have routing
of the processes of
business and a proper
system of approval.
The strategy of marketing
software is mainly
unclear.
Examples of

advanced cloud sales
platform.
Content management
capability
The integration of Oracle
Sales Cloud would be
helpful for helping with the
operations and sales. This
would help the organizations
to understand the velocity
and the increased volumes
of revenue. The ECRM
system would be helpful in
combining the ease of
accessing the storage
services along with the
capabilities of content
management (Smiers et al.,
2015).
The capabilities of content
management includes custom
based reporting, tagging, custom
workflows, caching, custom
based URLs, online and offline
publishing and scheduled
publishing.
Compliance with HL7
CDA

with HL7 CDA within
Oracle Sales Cloud would
be mainly helpful for the
automation of sales force,
unified platform for service
and sales, management of
the performance of the sales,
management of relationship
with the partners and the
management of the data of
the customers.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM would
comply with the rules of the
protection of vital data. The laws
of privacy would be applicable
on the services of the cloud. The
compliance of the organization
has been verified with the third
parties (Barrales‐Molina,
Martínez‐López & Gázquez‐
Abad, 2014).
Integration with EHR The integration with EHR
within the Oracle Sales
Cloud would be helpful for
suiting within the
organization. It would also
allow for the customization
and the user-friendliness
than the older platform
versions.
The integration with EHR
systems would be helpful in
providing their customers with a
proper methodology. This would
help in the enhancement of
quality outcomes, communication
and collaboration.
