Content SCM®

Infotrieve’s Content SCM is the only solution available which brings document delivery and rights management together in one seamless solution and the only integrated information center solution that can typically deliver more than 50% of all published scientific, technical, and medical content in five minutes or less. 

This exciting web-based content sourcing and delivery platform provides clients nearly immediate access to all licensed electronic content as well as more than 40 million citations available in Infotrieve’s catalog of published scientific, technical, and medical (STM) information. 

Documents delivered are 100% copyright compliant and all order information including citation details, intended use of the article, and associated fees are tracked for easy auditing and reporting.  This provides clients with a 360° view into both pay-per-view and licensed content usage in one integrated solution.

Content SCM’s self-service capabilities allow information professionals and end-users to easily cross-search various resources including internal data, in-house article collections, and electronic journal licenses for content as well as external resources such as Infotrieve’s expansive catalog.

End-users can easily search for articles already in their possession and clearly see which copyright compliance are available for that document.  If the rights for their intended usage aren’t available, they can simply place an order for the item.  This empowers end-users to complete the transaction on their own.

This award winning system incorporates a full array of rights management and administration features, plus all of the document delivery and sourcing capabilities of Virtual Library™ 2.0+.

Unique features and benefits of Content SCM are:

• 360º View of Content Usage Across the Enterprise: 
  A content usage record is created at the end-user level each time your company’s licensed content is accessed by an employee or is procured for delivery to someone outside of your company.  This data can easily be aggregated by division, department, country, configurable end-user clusters, or groups.
• Content Licensing Optimization: 
  Content SCM manages granular licensing of content for use at specific geographic locations, facilities, divisions, and departments based on historical usage and trends in usage.
• Rights Administration: 
  By loading all of your company’s licensed rights into Content SCM you automate management and dissemination of your company’s content in a compliant manner.
• Copyright and Regulatory Compliance Auditing: 
  Content SCM constructs an audit trail each time your company’s licensed content is accessed by an end-user or a document is sent to someone outside of your company.  These records detail what content was accessed and by whom; the individual receiving the content; and the rights under which the content was accessed and disseminated.

Plus all Virtual Library 2.0+ functionality including:

• Order processing integration with search and discovery platforms such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Ovid, Science Direct, SciFinder, Reference Manager, EndNote and many others which means end-users have familiar tools at hand which increases usage of the system.
• Access to more than 40 million citations in Infotrieve’s catalog of scientific, technical, and medical content which allows all inquiries to be referenced to find an exact match or “did you mean this?” suggestion. 
• Documents are sourced from a client’s collection of e-journals and e-books, existing document repositories, private print collections housed on-site or in Infotrieve’s STM Library™, or from Infotrieve’s comprehensive body of literature available on a pay-per-view basis.
• Copyright compliant document repository for fast and cost effective access to content which has been cleared as compliant under publisher agreements and reproductive rights organizations licenses.
• End-user self-service automation for ordering documents and tracking delivery means information professionals can spend time focusing on core activities of the information center that support the business of the organization.
• Shopping cart functionality that allows end-users to see the cost of a document before placing an order means purchasing decisions can be made based on the actual price.
• High-efficacy linking technology makes copyright compliant copies of licensed content available early in the ordering process which means less clicks and lots of time saved.
• An extensive array of configurable work-flow management functions (including data import/export in a wide variety of formats) are built right in making administration and reporting a breeze.
• Data capture/reporting that provides clear insight into document usage activity to enable more informed subscription renewal decisions plus easy budget administration and charge-backs.

Content SCM is a web based solution and all software resides on secure servers in Infotrieve’s data center.
