Preaching to the Content Management Choir
Been doing some thinking and I’ve decided that my blog is worthless. I have been talking about things that I’ve covered before and things that practitioners in the industry pretty much take as a given. I occasionally manage to string things together in a new way, but very little is truly new at this point.… Continue reading

Splintering of the Content Management Market
Life was so easy 10 years ago in this market. Web Content Management was simply publishing unless you were one of those companies doing business online. Enterprise Content Management wasn’t a reality, but we thought it was just waiting for the blending of the core technical capabilities. When it came to selecting a technology, it… Continue reading

Take a Break from ECM
I have been trying to shift the topic away from “Enterprise” Content Management for a while now. I’ve said that it isn’t something you can buy because it is a strategy. I’ve said that you don’t need a single Content Management System (CMS) platform to implement your strategy. I even gave a presentation at AIIM… Continue reading

Changes at info360, Yee Olde AIIM Conference
I have traditional gone to the annual AIIM conference, info360, in order to quiz/grill/annoy the vendors and network with people. The presentations were always secondary.

Looking to the Future of Content Management
Last week, I had the privilege of presenting at the info360 Conference. My topic was The Future of Content Management, with the cheesy tagline of Cloudy with a Chance of Innovation. [I’m going to ramble a bit, the the slides are below]. This presentation was originally conceived when I was tired of not seeing a… Continue reading

Using a Platform for an ECM Strategy
As I covered in my last post, Implementing an ECM Strategy without a Platform, you don’t need an Enterprise CMS Platform to implement a successful Enterprise Content Management Strategy. That doesn’t mean that you can’t use one or that using one would be the wrong approach. Just like there is no one-size-fits-all CMS, there is… Continue reading

Implementing an ECM Strategy without a Platform
It has been stated here at the Word, and elsewhere, that Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is a strategy. You can’t buy Enterprise Content Management. You can buy products that support an ECM Strategy, but without a blueprint, it is just a bunch of stuff. Semantics aside, do you need a central Content Management System (CMS)… Continue reading

Throwing ECM Terminology Around Like Candy
Been a while since I posted anything. Having a new kid will do that to a person. I read an article last week that all but set me off. Luckily I didn’t have time to write it because I am going to be biting the hands that feed me, or at least ones that have… Continue reading

Solving Revenue Cycle Management with Documentum
Right now, I am sitting at a confluence of events. Not earth-shattering events like those impacting the Muslim and Arab worlds right now, but a confluence nonetheless. In my last post, I talked about why it might be worth investing in a partnership with EMC right now, given the right circumstances. That has happened and… Continue reading

Investing in an EMC-Documentum Partnership
There has been a lot of talk over the past year, especially on my blog, about the issues with the traditional vendors. While I’ve focused on EMC, most of these issues face every Content Management platform vendor. The challenges of from the Open Source vendors and the emergence of the cloud as a concept broader… Continue reading
