It is an understatement to say that Sharepoint has become a nearly ubiquitous platform for workplace collaboration. Yet, as our technology evaluation subscribers know, Sharepoint may be omnipresent but definitely not omnipotent. An enterprise cannot just survive on Sharepoint for all its unstructured content needs, since there are significant functionality gaps in the Sharepoint armor ... Continue Reading

Product development has picked up, in particular among mid-size and large DAM vendors, as they attempt to beef up their feature offerings to cover more of the digital & media management spectrum ...

MediaBeacon is one of the bright and blinking stars of the Digital Asset Management world. Led by the ebullient and opinionated Jason Bright, the Minneapolis-based company has a much larger footprint on the market than the small size of the company would suggest. MediaBeacon's DAM tool is among the industry's more flexible and standards-based, and though largely focused on brand management scenarios, the company made extensive efforts to add video management features over the last 18 months ...

Like all analyst firms, every year-end we make predictions. I think we're fairly unique, though, in going back to see how our earlier predictions fared. Let's see whether our predictions for 2011 actually panned out. These were the twelve predictions we made in December, 2010 ... Continue Reading

To remind you, we cover Adobe’s CQ5 product in our WCM evaluations, and CQ DAM and Scene7 in our DAM report. ... Continue Reading

Once you decide to mobile-enable your enterprise information systems, the key question you need to address is whether to provide mobile access via Mobile Web (browser-based interfaces) or by offering downloadable applications ("apps").
This is a longstanding debate and proponents of both approaches will point to numerous benefits ... Continue Reading

This past week HP fired their CEO Leo Apotheker, making him the third CEO in a row to part with HP prematurely. But of all the departures this one one is the least surprising by far. His announcement that he was to buy Autonomy for a staggering $10.3 Billion -- far more than anyone else figured the firm was worth -- and spin of its market leading PC division was surely the most spectacular act of self-immolation in a long time ...

As Irene crawled up the coast, we Vermonters were ready for high winds and power outages, but never expected our rivers to crest beyond historic levels. Just about every story of data, information, or historic loss starts with the phrase “we never expected.” I never expected to experience an earthquake when I was in Virginia last week, either ...

"As high-end web consultants, we use a variety of research tools to keep on top of the evolving technology platforms. Among these, Real Story Group is by far the best--a sort of bible for our CMS consulting practice. We've used The Web CMS Research both to get a jump on understanding products in advance of a formal CMS selection, as well as to start the conversation about potential partnerships. It's also great when a client asks you about an obscure product -- and you can get back to them within an hour with a grounded, thoughtful appraisal of the product, knowing that the information is accurate and written by analysts with real perspective."
John Berndt, President and CEO, The Berndt Group, Ltd.
