tradução do termo ECM[editar código-fonte]

Os autores da versão atual utilizaram alguma referência em Português para a tradução do termo Enterprise Content Management? Minha dúvida está quanto ao uso de "Empresarial". Acho que existe uma diferença de uso de "Empresarial" no Brasil e "Enterprise" nos EUA. O uso do termo "Enterprise" pelos americanos ficaria mais próximo de "Organizacional" no português do Brasil. Ao contrário de "Empresarial" que tem uma conotação "empresas de iniciativa privada", o termo "organizacional" em português do Brasil cobre também as organizações que não são necessariamente empresas privadas.
