A skilled technology industry analyst is a rare bird: loves figuring out the innards of the tools, writes with depth and clarity, but can communicate effectively with business and IT leaders alike and coach them to make good decisions. We try to set a pretty high bar above and beyond that. If you've seen our work and think you'd be a good fit for a very demanding job, check out our ongoing analyst position openings ...

Amidst all the talk of gloom and doom in Europe, we present an article where the words “Europe” and “Crisis” don’t have to be uttered in the same breath...
The Europe edition of the Creatasphere Digital Asset Management conference in the Hague brought together DAM customers, vendors, and consultants for a few days. Bringing this event to Europe is fitting ... Continue Reading

I have just spent two days at the inaugural European Enterprise Search Summit in London, and left with much to think and rant about. For I listened to a series of consultants and vendors telling the audience that enterprise search was an imperative ... 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 ...

Now that HP has announced its intent to buy Autonomy, the deal has come under a lot of scrutiny. One area though that few have yet to look at in detail -- and of particular interest to us as buyers' advocates -- is the whole topic of the IDOL search OEM business ... Continue Reading

Like old soldiers, sometimes old Web CMS tools don't die outright....they just fade away. Case in point: the product formerly known as RedDot, which became OpenText Web Solutions, but is now re-branded "OpenText Web Site Management." RedDot boasts a long and storied past. However, it started falling behind its competitors even before ... Continue Reading

Vendors claim DOD5015 compliance, but few organizations actually use the systems in a DOD5015 compliant manner. In short it is an over-arching standard that demands a particularly complex and cumbersome working methodology ... Continue Reading

Unlike most acquisitions in the Content Technology Marketplaces that we cover, this one actually seems like one in which there is not much overlap between two vendors' offerings. Antenna Software, a provider of mobile applications mainly for enterprises, acquired Volantis Systems, a company focused on delivering content to mobile browsers, concentrated more on the consumer Internet ...

Most recently, Wired Magazine managed to reach the zenith with the article "The Web is Dead. Long Live the Internet." Even though that's been discussed to death on the web (dead itself), allow me to spoof their title one last time. Just to make an entirely different point: whereas the mobile web is alive and kicking -- it's becoming nearly impossible to create mobile apps. ... Continue Reading
