ECM Price Lists: Why the Secrecy?

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 13-Jul-2010

Yesterday morning I was reading through Oracle's recently updated price list (yes my Monday mornings really are that exciting).

ECM co-existence and the vuvuzela

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 25-Jun-2010

I'm in the middle of reviewing feedback for a number of ECM product evaluations that I'm presently updating.  The upgrade from minor version to minor version (1.7 to 1.8 etc) is usually heralded by loud marketing cries from the suppliers. Closer inspection though tends to reveal fixes and gaps plugged, rather than anything revolutionary ... Continue Reading

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

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 11-May-2010

I have been in the document management business for over 20 years now, and though on the one hand ECM and Document Management technology has moved into the mainstream, in other regards it remains in the dark ages ... Continue Reading

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 15-Apr-2010

Oracle and SharePoint

Added By Tony Byrne on 26-Jan-2010

SAP to resell Livelink

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 14-Oct-2009

There is a some noise being made today about SAP's decision to become a reseller of Open Text's ECM products. Call me Mr Miserable, but I'm not sure that its really a game changer. SAP and Open Text have been involved in a long, torturous courtship, that so far has failed to result in a marriage ... Continue Reading

Added By Alan Pelz-Sharpe on 15-Sep-2009

The past year or so IBM has been promoting the concept of "Agile ECM" in its marketing for FileNet P8. It is an interesting concept both at a marketing and implementation level regardless of whether P8 itself really fits such a label itself ... Continue Reading

Added By Tony Byrne on 10-Jul-2009

One of the questions at a "town hall" debate I facilitated at last month's Enterprise 2.0 conference addressed the topic of information lifecycle management for enterprise social spaces. Most of the attendees didn't seem to think it was necessary. I disagree ... Continue Reading
