Opinions and discussion on content management by one of the biggest guys in the business. *Measured by weight not volume
Every one of us are living the Zoom life with our working days comprised of meeting after meeting on video. This shift will be one of the long lasting impacts of the pandemic as we have readjusted our expectations for what it means to meet together. Along with this comes the ability to easily record...

Every week I meet with people struggling to decide what to do with aging platforms. We offhandedly refer to these as "legacy" which offends some vendors. They feel it is an epithet pointing out their age and frailty. I have more recently come to believe though this is a poor description because the term assumes... 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...

There are a plethora of marketing videos and analyst’s posts about new AI product's popping up everyday. While products could be evaluated ad nauseam, what I would like to focus on is what I think is the most interesting implication that this wave of affordable Enterprise AI suggests.

In it they said, “ECM is now dead (kaput, finite, an ex-market name), at least in how Gartner defines the market. It’s been replaced by the term Content Services, …” Let’s ignore the fact that...

This is the most unapologetically nerdy post I have ever written. It also might contain what some consider spoilers of the new Star Wars movie, Rogue One. If you care then stop now. 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. The irony well described in the The Innovator's Dilemma is that the very innovations we used to drive change and create our business become mired in habit and dogma. We use... Continue Reading →
