Don't Overbuy ECM Seat Licenses
Some interesting news: "A recent AMR Research survey of 271 companies using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems shows that 46% of licensed ERP 'seats' are currently unused." Most of the excess seats apparently represent an overhang from the go-go days. Replace "ERP" with "ECM" and you could be talking about present-day content management licenses. Vendors want to lock themselves in as your standard platform for myriad use-cases. But ECM really plays out as a series of discrete business projects. My advice: disregard volume discounts and buy seats incrementally; then work with your vendor(s) to make sure that each new project is successful. You'll save money in the long run.

Our Customers Say
"I was thrilled at the level of detail and the depth of honesty in The Digital & Media Asset Management Research. Other research tends to want to rate a company for gold stars or magic numbers, but glosses over the real workings and customer experiences of the given vendor. This research is more valuable, and certainly more tangible than what other analysts have put forth."
