Added By Theresa Regli on 31-Jan-2013

Why traditional ECM tools like Documentum, FileNet, SharePoint, and Alfresco are not suited for cloud file sharing

Added By Apoorv Durga on 12-Nov-2012

Enterprises will naturally question: since the functionality these cloud-based tools provide is really a subset of the larger problem document management tools like Documentum seek to solve, why not just use of the traditional ECM or Collaboration tools for file sharing instead of selecting a new set of tools? ...

Responsive Design and WCXM - What am I missing?

Added By Matt Mullen on 5-Sep-2012

Facebook goes native for iPhone and iPad - Should you?

Added By Apoorv Durga on 29-Aug-2012

Last week, Facebook announced a new application for iPhone and iPad devices that runs on Apple's iOS mobile operating system. This application is a native app -- meaning it's written using Apple's proprietary technologies and you must download it from Apple's App Store.

This represents an about-face ... Continue Reading

FT.com bets on HTML5 in lieu of native apps

Added By Apoorv Durga on 3-May-2012

The esteemed Financial Times is ready to pull the plug on its iOS native apps and instead replace them with an HTML5-based app.

Digital workplace and enterprise architecture -- two sides to same coin

Added By Tony Byrne on 19-Mar-2012

A confluence of trends is elevating the concept of the "Digital Workplace." Much of the current discussion has centered around what a digital workplace mean for traditional intranets, emerging social collaboration spaces, and aging transactional systems.

Added By Kashyap Kompella on 20-Dec-2011

"We found the Enterprise Portals Research to be extremely helpful in our efforts to implement a revamped and improved portal at our organization. Not only were the portal product evaluations impartial and thorough, but the 'Best Practices' chapter was excellent!
