The Rise of the Machine-Authored Content
When you think of machine-authored content, do you envision a room full of Arnold Schwarzenegger “authornators” sitting in front of computer screens? According to Gartner’s 2016 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Content Management, “By 2018, 20% of all business content will be authored by machines.” Reaching that 20% won’t be hard. Machine-authored content is not a... Continue Reading →

The Real Meaning of Text Analytics
Walk through any expo floor and chances are that you will see a half a dozen vendors touting “text analytics." In document management, it's the cool “new” topic.

Is Enterprise Content Management Done?
CMS Wire reported last week, “The way Rohit Ghai puts it, EMC Documentum is done … fully evolved, so to speak. ‘No one is asking for more features or functions, he said.’” I wanted to ask, if no one’s asking for more features or functions, are you asking the right questions?
