Opinions and discussion on content management by one of the biggest guys in the business. *Measured by weight not volume
It’s clear that ECM technology is not currently changing, it has already changed. Gartner clarified their stance a few weeks ago and I shared my observations from the last few years. But while the debate over what we practitioners call Enterprise Content Management (ECM), Content Services, or Intelligent Information Management continues, for me it’s going... Continue Reading →
While we are caught up debating the term Enterprise Content Management (ECM), we are missing the fact that ECM technology has already changed. Last week Gartner clarified their statement on the end of ECM.
