ECM TALK - A New Podcast Series

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 8-Sep-2010

Before speaking at industry events I often post a blog asking people to come along and say hello in person. In London a few months back James Lappin did just that, and though I knew of James as an Records Management (RM) expert by reputation, I had not actually met him in person ... Continue Reading

Skeptical about DotNetNuke getting enterprisey

Added By Tony Byrne on 20-Aug-2010

Many observers expected big things when DotNetNuke Corporation raised serious venture capital in November, 2008. (DotNetNuke Corporation is the commercial entity behind the sprawling, open source CMS community by the same name) ... Continue Reading

Vendor Landscapes and Horse Races

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 19-Aug-2010

There's an odd fascination with equestrianism in technology. Vendor landscapes are often described as horse races; there's leaders and laggards, winners and losers. That's great for gamblers, investors, and jockeys. But it's not very useful ... Continue Reading

Making sense of IT gibberish

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 12-Aug-2010

Explaining technical concepts -- which are often quite abstract -- can be quite a challenge. So at the Real Story Group we often try to be creative in how we go about explaining things ... Continue Reading

Adobe To Acquire Day - First Take-ECM Perspective

Added By Apoorv Durga on 28-Jul-2010

Adobe Systems today announced their intent to acquire Day Software. We've seen Adobe featuring in many Content Management RFPs and although they had some of the necessary pieces including Adobe Contribute and LiveCycle, they were never taken seriously as a Content Management player. An OEM deal with Alfresco a few years back though well intentioned didn't help much but this announcement will surely change the situation dramatically. ... Continue Reading

Added By Apoorv Durga on 19-Jul-2010

How to get the right vendors to respond to your RFP

Added By Tony Byrne on 12-Jul-2010

Many of our enterprise research customers are reporting an interesting trend: fewer responses to their RFPs (a.k.a., "tenders"). Even vendors they had at the top of their lists may decline to bid. This puzzles them ... Continue Reading

Don't ogle search if you really want content management

Added By Tony Byrne on 8-Jul-2010

I'll agree with mega-vendor Autonomy on one key point: Search technology is really important. But is it so important that search functionality should dominate your choice in a content management system? ... Continue Reading

WordPress 3.0 released: Bzzzzz.

Added By Adriaan Bloem on 2-Jul-2010

Well, it was to be expected: after a long wait, WordPress 3.0 got released just when I was on a short holiday. (WordPress admins shouldn't be allowed to take holidays for that exact reason.) ... Continue Reading

Adapting Your Content Management Platform for Mobile Delivery

Added By Apoorv Durga on 14-Jun-2010

One of our predictions for this year was about the rise of mobile as a delivery channel -- much more closely integrated with your content technologies. Most vendors provide some sort of mechanism for delivering content to mobile channels ... Continue Reading

When infrastructure vendors use niche products for Enterprise 2.0

Added By Tony Byrne on 11-Jun-2010

I participated in an interesting workshop at the 2.0 Council last week where one of the big debates was -- inevitably -- the tension between behemoth collaboration platforms (especially SharePoint) vs. point solutions for social computing ... Continue Reading

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 3-Jun-2010
