Opinions and discussion on content management by one of the biggest guys in the business. *Measured by weight not volume
As I have researched the Contract Life Cycle Management (CLM) environment, I have been concerned about the lack of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) vendors paying attention to the space. ECM solutions would be an obvious platform for these solutions. While the majority of the ECM vendors ignore this, a couple of vendors have addressed this... Continue Reading →
For years I’ve been in discussions where the conversation bounced between “build” versus “buy: decisions for a ECM (Enterprise Content Management). Before 2000, managing any large collection of documents, either to a specific business case or all documents, meant building your own document management system or buying an existing document management system. Over the years,... Continue Reading →
Back in 2009, I found myself reminiscing about an old Documentum partner and one of their cool offerings. As I wrote the article, several more scenarios of “Lost Knowledge” came to mind.

There is no debating the fact that SharePoint was a tremendously disruptive product in the collaboration market and redefinition... Continue Reading →
Box.net has announced a new round of funding that brought in close to $50mil USD. Watching some of the comments on twitter it was clear that some don't think they have a feature set that rises to the level of true collaboration.

Seems everybody is writing predictive posts this year. I thought I would take it up a notch and elevate my musings to prophetic status. They won't be any more accurate but the search engines might bring me a new set of conspiratorial readers and make for more entertaining comments. Besides - 2012 is just around... Continue Reading →
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...

Yesterday’s acquisition of Day Software by Adobe should not come as a surprise. For those watching closely over the last seven years, Adobe has been trying to build their own Enterprise Content Management system. Some would argue with little success.
