ECM (Enterprise content management ) - is a set of technologies used to capture, store, preserve and deliver content and documents and content related to organizational processes. ECM tools allow the management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information exists.
ECM employed the technologies and strategies of content management to address business process issues, such as records and auditing, knowledge sharing, personalization and standardization of content, and so on.
In a brief press release Swedish CMS vendor ElektroPost today announced that they have signed a partnership agreement with search giant Google. Under the agreement Elektropost will integrate their flagship Web CMS, "EPiServer" with the Google Search Appliance to "provide the same level of search as google.com on their own Web sites." This early partnership likely presages more to come between Google and other CMS vendors. Google does a fine job of searching websites (but searching enterprise content is a different story -- consult The Enterprise Search Report for details), and hungry CMS vendors will want to try to hitch a ride on Google's star. Google should be happy to get more traction on in Scandinavia, home turf of enterprise search competitor FAST.
After a long series of delays, Swedish Web CMS vendor EPiServer finally released version 5.0 of EPiServer CMS last week. A major reason for the delay is that EPiServer raised their ambitions during the process. Version 5 has massive changes for developers as it is based on .NET 3. There's also a complete new workflow based on the new Windows Workflow Foundation. Interestingly the release comes only shortly after the founder sold a majority of the company, and new owners came in with a new CEO. Despite the curious timing, according to EPiServer a few new customers are already live with EPiServer 5. With the major changes make sure you get competent resources on your project, ideally somebody who's already worked with Version 5.
