Opinions and discussion on content management by one of the biggest guys in the business. *Measured by weight not volume
Have you ever heard of the Twin Paradox? It is a classic illustration of the consequences of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. One twin remains on Earth while the other leaves the planet and travels for a period time at close to the speed of light. When he returns his twin will have aged passed... Continue Reading →
The evolution of ECM from monolithic content management to cloud content services requires rethinking many touch points for both creating and consuming content. It is more important than ever for the architects and IT owners of these user experiences to understand what external and internal integrations could affect the performance, stability and security of the...

What is the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything. 42 of course. Anyone who has read (or seen) Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy knows this. After finding this answer the ancient alien race then had to build a machine to run billions of years to determine something more important.... Continue Reading →
Every so often, an up and coming software company will announce a new partnership with Microsoft adorned with a great deal of optimism. I cringe every time.

If you work in technology in general and content management specifically and don’t care about anything Star Wars you have other issues... Continue Reading →
A few random thoughts to finish the week. In between bad movies on the plane I was thinking about how content management needs to evolve.
