Opinions and discussion on content management by one of the biggest guys in the business. *Measured by weight not volume
When the rumors came out last year I looked at what could be meant by an acquisition of Lexmark Enterprise Software, now Kofax, by Thoma Bravo. It was a quick response to a rumor. But it seems the rumors are flying again. CMS Wire reached out for a quote for the article and I said,... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, Northwoods announced availability of Traverse, a text analytics solution for child welfare social workers. The solution is designed to allow case workers to focus more on a child’s needs rather than needlessly reviewing case documents.

The last five months have been exciting. For years I’ve been waiting to see if Federated Content Services would make a comeback.

In June 2016 I asked, “Will ECM vendors catch up to Back Office Solutions?” I pointed out that Enterprise Content Management (ECM) vendors were missing the boat on content solutions being sold directly to end users. These back office solution vendors don’t talk about “content” and do not see themselves as ECM vendors. They might... Continue Reading →
So I’m taking a break at the AIIM conference, when someone asks to joins me. Within a few moments I’m getting their pitch, “We’re an enterprise content management (ECM) company focused on the Global 500.” I look at his badge to see a vendor name I don’t recognize. In twenty years I learned so many... Continue Reading →
