We know that there are still many companies using Legacy ECM Systems. This is more and more limiting, has we shift to a digital content era, powered by AI and Machine Learning. Not only that, but your security may be compromised as well, as these systems are failing more and more.
And what are most companies doing to respond to that?! Well, most of them are moving their systems to the cloud! This has been happening, thus slowly, but it is evident that this is the next step to take towards being competitive and increasing productivity.
It’s true that Cloud ECM Systems bring many advantages… You’re able to access your data in real time and everywhere, share projects easily, and the most important thing, of course, making your company all synchronized!

There is a point where an ECM Systems face problems it could not solve. Content management is tendentially evolving to the cloud, so it can be more agile, innovative, and helping businesses became stronger and competitive.
Most firms that rely on loads of content are spending too much time of their daily work, finding content locked in different systems. Imagine the productivity lose and the cost deficiency amongst companies.
This is an issue that has been predicted for a while now. So, many solutions have been in development. But first, let’s check some of the legacy ECM systems problems:
- Legacy ECM providers do not realize the magnitude of content diversification or massification.
- Cloud is everywhere these days, always updated, with more efficient customer service. So, providers need to realize this, and make it easy to migrate and offering recent solutions.
- Despite Legacy ECM providers tend to adapt, most of the times they don´t invest properly in Research and Development to create these solutions.
