Enterprise Content Management - ECM - is a term defined in 2005 by information professionals that has been in competition with other concepts such as EDRMS or ERMS. There is a lot of literature regarding terms related to document management, such as ECM, EDRMS, ERMS, DM, and KM among others, more influenced by marketing rules rather than objective reasons.
OpenKM is an ECM software, however we prefer the term EDRMS (Enterprise Document and Record Management System), perhaps with lesser success on the marketing world but from our point of view more strict and representative.
Some of the challenges of Enterprise Content Management (content management systems):
Enterprise Content Management - ECM software - is a term that combines document management, records management, search, collaboration, workflows, data capture, digital transformation, electronic signature, forms processing, digitalization, and digital assets management (DAM).

OpenKM tasks are based on document events - for example: a firewall paradigm concept to validate the rules and apply some actions - and helps you to automatically set your business logic. You can set rules based on events and, for example, move documents to new destinations, change security, and apply document transformations (converting to PDF with group4 compression) among others.
