So what exactly is SED?

http://ecmclub. blogspot. com/2010/03/blog-post. html. ). But, honestly say that the situation is not clarified. Or do not understand.

Actually, the answer was given in the first comment from Natalia Hramtsovsky:.

--------------------.
Concept of sed rather vague, and different people mean by it of an entirely different class. In addition, this concept evolved over time: for example, has recently electronic filing for the same job, too, considered the SED, and now hardly anyone thinks.

Therefore, we can talk about a range of systems that can be called SED, as well as some ...
Perhaps the simplest representative of this ...
In comparison with Western terminology, the typical Russian SED - a specialized EDMS / ECM, capable of supporting a number of specific functions of document management. Anyway, this is not ERMS ( based on the EDMS / ECM), although the movement in this direction is gradually.
-------------------------.

The key argument here, I think, ' different people mean by it of an entirely different class '. And by ' different people ', as I understand it, means not ' one of the taiga ' and ECM- proffi, in a fairly narrow range of themselves proffi.

Is there a fairly simple, but the generally accepted definition? .

Of course, there need to answer the question - why do need a definition?.

Well, at least to convince customers of the benefits of the SED, was clearer about the benefits of what we are talking.
I'm not talking about what kind of market intelligence may be involved if there is no identification of the market itself.

I want to draw your audience's attention on what 's quite obvious (to me) aspect of the question: if there is no definition of the SED, there is no such segment of the IT market - EDS.

============.
- Your company is doing what?.
- We develop and vnedoyaem SED.
- Sorry, but what is SED?.

============.

I 've heard comments about this dialogue ' who should be, he knows '. But unfortunately, such a response merely reflects ' mestichkovost ' business.

But here's another point. The commentary says Natalia EDS, as a system that functions in the organization. But there is also software for creating EDS.
---------------.
- What software you are selling in the market?.
- SED.
---------------.

Please note that software as a product, and ispolzuemayav organization system - this is not the same.

Why is all this necessary? . That in itself is important. But then faces the problem of ranking.
For example, to answer this question: what is the SED ( the product ) to choose to build the SED (as a particular system ) in the organization?.
