What is ECMp

The ECMp certification, issued by AIIM (Association for Intelligent Information Management), validates foundational mastery in enterprise content management principles; making it especially relevant to clients in regulated industries or with complex content ecosystems and multiple document types.

Why ECMp Certification Matters in Document Scanning

TierFive’s document scanning service isn’t just about turning paper into images—it’s about maintaining compliance with frameworks such as HIPAA, GDPR, FERPA, and DOL ERISA and how that content fits into your larger ecosystem. Whether you’re capturing HR files, medical records, legal contracts, engineering drawings, or financial statements, the real value comes from how the scanned content is indexed, retained, governed, and retrieved. The ECMp (Enterprise Content Management Practitioner) credential, issued by AIIM, ensures that certified individuals understand best practices for content capture, metadata structuring, access control, retention policy enforcement, and ECM system integration. When ECMp-certified professionals are involved, every aspect of your document scanning project is planned and executed with a view toward long-term digital governance and operational alignment.
