4C ECT Content Solutions, a subsidiary of 4C IT, a Cape Town-based database design and warehouse company, has begun providing technology solutions and services to facilitate regulated electronic content processing, management and delivery.

Rudolph du Plessis, 4C IT MD says the company chose to launch 4C ECT Content Solutions in the fourth quarter of last year because it saw a gap in the market for content solutions to help companies become compliant with the Electronic Communications and Transactions (ECT) Act, the Promotion of Access to Information Act and the Financial Intelligence Centre Act.

"We are looking for the best document processing and management solutions in the market and providing them to customers as a complete solution," says Du Plessis.

4C ECT Content Solutions has signed a deal with US based Document Sciences Corporation to market its xPression product and du Plessis says the company is looking for a to provide store document software.

"The document management market has not taken off yet and we believe that as government and the large corporates enter the space and become compliant with legislation like the ECT Act, so the market will take off in 2005 and 2006."

Du Plessis says by securing word class products and bundling them as a solution to clients, 4C ECT Content Solutions will be able to differentiate itself from other players in the content management market.
