FileNet releases WCM 3.0

11-Sep-2005

Tags: Web Content and Experience Management, Selecting Technology,

Last week FileNet released the long-awaited version 3 of its Web Content Management product. This version comes after a couple of false starts and seeming corporate inattention to Web CMS. As CMS Report readers know, WCM has not been FileNet's strong suit; however, like other ECM vendors, the company is trying to close the gap. This new version evidently tries to take advantage of FileNet's vaunted business processing engine. Rules-based processing plays a big role in FileNet's records management product, but I'm not sure how much your average web page needs to be "processed," especially at a time when -- as James Robertson points out -- many companies seem to be eschewing formal workflows in favor of ad hoc collaboration. Curiously, there is no news of the latest version on the FileNet's own website as of this writing (11 September). [Update: Read the FileNet release here.]
