SpringCM, the leader in document management and workflow products, has recently announced a slew of changes and improvements with SpringCM 4.4. The key improvement here is the addition of record management capabilities, which will allow enterprises to have more control their data. If you have a bunch of data to deal with, SpringCM might be able to lend a helping hand.SpringCM has long offered enterprises ways to capture and store massive influxes of data -- and don't get us wrong, that is wonderful. However, that is no longer the primary issue with data today.

Thankfully, SpringCM has more useful purposes.
