Create and maintain authentic, reliable and useable records

OpenKM document management has support for records management software. Enterprise Content Management - ECM - is a term defined in 2005 by information professionals that have competed with other concepts such as EDRMS or ERMS. There is a lot of literature related to document management, such as; ECM, EDRMS, ERMS, DM, KM, and more influenced by marketing rules rather than objective reasons.

However, we prefer the term EDRMS ( Enterprise Document and Record Management System), perhaps with lesser success in the marketing world but from our point of view, more strict and representative.
