Last year I made six predictions for the 2010 content management market. Unlike Jean Dixon though I am actually going to review my work. The thing about making predictions like this is there is no real accountability - That is what makes punditry so appealing. Nevertheless I am going to attempt an objective review anyway. #1 Open...

What the Greenplum Deal Means to Documentum
There is a question that is sure to come up in Documentum circles - What does the Greenplum deal mean to Documentum. My completely personal and unofficial opinion not to be associated with the company in any way is - nothing. Nothing any time soon anyway. Don't get me wrong - I think this is a huge move for EMC. Not... Continue Reading →
Newton’s First Law of Content
Alan Pelz-Sharpe always has a way of getting me thinking. His latest post, ECM Coexistence and the Vuvuzela, remarks how vendors and customers alike are looking to integrate new content systems with legacy content systems rather than replacing them. Connectors and API's and standards are all the rage. What I wonder though is why the change and... Continue Reading →
The Problem With “E” in ECM – Part III – Why “C” is the new “E”
This is the third and final post in the Problem With "E" in ECM Series. In the first I outlined why "E" representing enterprise has lost its meaning and usefulness when discussing content management in all its flavors.

BMOC at AIIM Expo 2010
On Tuesday afternoon I'll be speaking on Mobile Content Management at AIIM Expo. Mobile content management to me is a "coming of age" story but debate continues as to whether or not this is a category that can eventually stand on its own. Can it be a peer to the other members of the family (WCM, DAM,etc.) ? ... Continue Reading →

He has the formidable challenge putting the next generation of tools together for the suite and it is an important question to ask. He suggests that... Continue Reading →
EMC Shifts to Web Experience Management with Fatwire
EMC Documentum is announcing a new reseller relationship with Fatwire that will fundamentally change the way it competes in the web content management market. For those that are familiar with Documentum's history in the web content management space this announcement will cause mixed reactions. Many forget that Documentum was actually one of the very first... Continue Reading →
SAP to Sell EMC-Documentum, Finally!
This week was EMC's 1st Sales Kickoff for CM&A in five years. It was a great week with some interesting news. While one bit of news got a lion's share of the attention it was our announcement with SAP that really grabbed mine. SAP has been around since the 70’s and with all that history you...

2010 Content Management Predictions from Lee Dallas
My dream job is being a pundit on a cable news network. Dress nice, spout opinions all day and no accountability. (not unlike an executive consultant) As it is though I have to work for a living and the closest I can get to that is making predictions about the content management market place for...

Witnessing the Birth of a CEVA Ecosystem
Those of you that have read my articles before know I’m big on CEVA’s. I think Content Enabled Vertical Applications (or if you now prefer Composite Content Applications) are the future for enterprise content management. I believe that ECM would gain stronger visibility and penetration in the enterprise by allowing and supporting the development of... Continue Reading →
