Enterprise Content Management is the technologies, tools, and methods used
to capture, manage, store, preserve, and deliver content across an
enterprise. At the most basic level, ECM tools and strategies allow the
management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that
information exists. Numerous terms are used, depending on whom you're
talking to, nearly interchangeably with ECM-integrated document management,
digital asset management, integrated document and content management, and
total content management to name a few. Regardless of the precise
terminology, ECM capabilities manage traditional content types (images,
office documents, graphics, drawings, and print streams) as well as the new
electronic objects (Web pages and content, email, video, and rich media
assets) throughout the lifecycle of that content.

Why do we need ECM? I really don't know.
