Documentum, provider of enterprise content management (ECM), today announced the availability of the industry’s most comprehensive ECM platform and applications for compliance-related content management. Documentum provides a full range of offerings to help organizations immediately address regulatory and business requirements, across the enterprise and entire compliance lifecycle, including program management, automation and attestation. Unlike other compliance solutions that are based on a collection of disparate technology and services, Documentum offers proven, certified and available products that have been successfully used by hundreds of organizations to manage content-related compliance issues.

The Documentum compliance solutions, which reduce operational costs of compliance and minimize the risk of non-compliance, include:

- The Documentum ECM Platform – A platform for all compliance initiatives, the Documentum ECM Platform delivers capabilities that satisfy common compliance requirements, such as access control, authentication, content assembly, data archival and retrieval, audit trails, electronic signatures and encryption.

By providing strong evidence of "who did what and when," Content Authentication Services helps companies operate in compliance with mandated regulations, records migration and records management policies and business best practices.
