Morphology

ECM = E + C + M

ECM is an initialism/acronym whose letters stand for words; it is not analyzable as English morphemes, so the meaning must be learned from the expansion.

Etymology

ECM stands for Enterprise Content Management, where enterprise means 'company', content means 'documents and files', and management means 'organizing'. So an ECM is like a digital filing cabinet that helps a company store, find, and control its important documents.
