The title of this article says it all, doesn't it? The folks over at SpringCM are probably jumping up and down right now, since they've just been considered a very promising company by Forrester Research.  SpringCM: The 'Next Big Thing'?The report, which was actually released on December 19, 2008, highlights promising new vendors and important technology trends that represent the predicted "next big thing." Companies are selected for inclusion based on comparative technological advantage, ease of implementation and size of their potential market.

The ECM world is dominated by EMC, Open Text, IBM, Microsoft and Oracle -- all big vendors with equally big publicity machines to keep their brands and "story" right, front and center. But of interest to me these last couple of months has been the news from lesser-known vendors such as Nuxeo and SpringCM. Different news from each to be sure, but evidence that mid-market vendors should be watched closely by buyers as those suppliers often have a more resilient and detailed ECM strategy, they just don't have such big marketing machines to explain it with.
