ECM in a box?

Our guest analyst Apoorv Durga pointed me to InfoGrid a Singapore-based vendor that is now selling an ECM "appliance." I have not looked inside the box yet, but plan to do so and will report back with what I find. But at first glance, we can see a fairly broad product built using Open Source staples such as Lucene and Apache, coming in at a very low price point. The product -- assuming it lives up to its claims -- could have an impact beyond the region. More evidence, as if it was needed, of ECM as a true global phenomenon, and not just the domain of a handful of North American vendors.
