The Rise of Big Content
This post arises from several thought streams that I’ve had over the last several months that coalesced the last week when thinking about the purpose of Big Data and how the Content industry has had a Big Data problem for years.

My CIP Breakdown
A few weeks back, I asked readers how they thought I did on the different sections on my Certified Information Professional (CIP) exam.

The Content Management Expert Paradox
Several weeks ago, Alan Pelz-Sharpe tweeted an observation that I have observed many times that is paradoxical in nature.

Debating the Future of Content Management at AIIM 2012
Back before either Cheryl McKinnon or I were considering bringing our skills to AIIM, we submitted a proposal to this year’s AIIM Conference to moderate a panel on the Future of Content Management. For this discussion, we decided to bring representatives from the traditional, open source, and cloud-based Content Management worlds onto the same stage.… Continue reading
