However, research indicates that many ECMS implementations fail to yield the kind of information sharing that is useful for business process executions. From the IS literature point of view, this is not because of the technologies, but it is due to ways ECMS is implemented and used which is not aligned with organization's way of doing business. Therefore, this paper explores how organizations that emphasize high integration and low standardization of business processes termed as Coordination use and implement ECMS to support its business operations. We suggest guidelines that explain the ways ECMS should be used and implemented in Coordination organizations that include (1) ways to use ECMS for sharing business process-related information, (2) ECMS infrastructure, (3) ways to manage content and (4) administration of ECMS. These findings are grounded in the analysis of qualitative data from one case study. The finding is significant for business and IT managers because it will guide them with ways to use ECMS and gain more benefits from these types of systems. © IDOSI Publications, 2013. date: 2013 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84897906107&doi=10.5829%2fidosi.wasj.2013.28.12.871&partnerID=40&md5=82c2d825b0b730e7ee0086b0826bdb76 id_number: 10.5829/idosi.wasj.2013.28.12.871 full_text_status: none publication: World Applied Sciences Journal volume: 28 number: 12 pagerange: 2221-2228 refereed: TRUE issn: 18184952 citation: Izza Arshad, N. and Mohamed Ariff, M.I.
