Opinions and discussion on content management by one of the biggest guys in the business. *Measured by weight not volume
Finding documents is one of the biggest challenges for most organizations. This is supposed to become easier after implementing an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution, but when an organization has multiple platforms it becomes exponentially harder. The documents are under control but they have different ways they’re organized, they have different keywords, and are locked... Continue Reading →
It’s nice to get back into a good conversation over the direction of Enterprise Content Management (ECM). This time around it’s platform verses solution. I brought up that ECM Is Not a Solution, It’s A Platform a few weeks back and last week Pie also stated that Content Management is a Platform. While we share... Continue Reading →
For years I’ve been in discussions where the conversation bounced between “build” versus “buy: decisions for a ECM (Enterprise Content Management).

I followed a couple of links and there is so much commentary you would think Ron Paul just selected CMIS as his running mate. Despite Chuck's nifty acronym (that I will now use often) It strikes me that I've heard... Continue Reading →
There have been several articles written about CEVAs but they all seem to have been written for the customer not the vendor. I think it’s too early to talk about how a customer should choose a CEVA when there’s only one CEVA to choose from. What we really need is for vendors and VARS to look at a... Continue Reading →
Two years ago Gartner coined a new acronym CEVA, Content Enabled Vertical Applications, and it created some buzz in the enterprise content management space. Now I get a little lost here and have to think about what a Vertical means in software terms. Imagitek, a proclaimed CEVA, offers case management with specializations in contracts and...
