See how we're changing the playing field...free Webinar Tuesday, August 7, 2:00 PM ESTThe Enterprise Content Management (document imaging, document management, content management, etc.) market has become stagnant over the last few years with few, if any, vendors offering real innovation or investing in technology to deliver full-featured solutions, compelling user experiences, or business application integration.Clearview has redefined ECM with the first contemporary solution designed to deliver rich yet easy-to-use ECM functionality to every desktop throughout your organization. Leveraging newer technology that paves the way for innovation, Microsoft® has raised the bar on classic ECM with Office 2007 and SharePoint® Server 2007. Clearview is the first ECM vendor to uniquely encapsulate this new functionality into a comprehen-sive solution designed to bring a fresh change and true innova-tion into ECM deployment and usability.

I'll be running a two-day intensive ECM workshop in Rome this April, geared for the needs of project implementation and selection teams -- as well as the business managers who oversee information management initiatives. Our friends at Technology Transfer are organizing the event, and there are still a couple of places left. The dates are 10th & 11th April, so if the joint pleasures of a spring break in the middle of Rome along with a primer on content technologies appeal to you, then book up quickly, and feel free to e-mail me with questions in advance.

Here in the USA it is "Thanksgiving" holiday -- a very pleasant time when we gather with family and declare our various gratitudes. In that spirit, I'll list some content technology things for which, I think, we can all be grateful: WebDAV Lightweight syndication, a.k.a., RSS and ATOM Web content governance models Real-time spell-check in the browser (with Firefox 2.x you get it for free) Nearly ubiquitous clustering facilities for search results Slight (but perceptible) trend towards REST-based SOA for ECM Competition for Google Analytics A very healthy Web CMS marketplace JSR 283 CM ProsThis list is surely too short, but it's enough for now, with the tryptophan kicking in...

Today we released the ECM Suites Report 2008, evaluating 32 Enterprise Content Management vendors. ECM shoppers should be encouraged by the potential bargains they might find in 2008 ECM marketplace, but once implemented, they need to be careful that their ECM systems not become a virus within their enterprise. You can download a free chapter, which includes our review of Oracle's Universal Content Management suite. If you are a full subscriber, you should receive your copy shortly; if you're a previous report buyer, you'll receive an e-mail a bit later this week outlining discount eligibility.

I'm thrilled to announce the launch of The Digital & Media Asset Management Report 2008. While we've followed DAM and blogged quite a bit about DAM and MAM (Media Asset Management) over our 7-year history, this report represents our first comprehensive comparative evaluation of 18 DAM tools, and our first aggregation of DAM and MAM best practices. Subscribers, you'll be getting your copy shortly; others can download a free sample here. For several evaluations of major enterprise DAM vendors (Open Text's Artesia, Interwoven's MediaBin, EMC's Documentum Digital Asset Manager, and the IBM FileNet / Ancept Media Server pairing), we built on the foundational DAM research in our ECM Suites Report 2008. We then looked at several pure-play DAM vendors, including ClearStory, North Plains, Canto, WAVE, Widen, and ADAM. You can see the full list of vendors covered here.

The AIIM show that probably generated the most buzz and subsequent fall out in recent memory came in 1995 when Microsoft announced their plans to place a free Imaging Viewer into the Windows 95 desktop operating system. Of course, many industry fellows viewed this as the end of the market. Game over — Microsoft now owns the imaging marketplace. Submitted by Clearview Software

We've critiqued SharePoint's rather awkward web publishing capabilities in different evaluation reports (on Web CMS tools and SharePoint itself). But we also see customers who seek to deploy SharePoint for their public websites, either because they want to experiment with the platform, or because the business side is being forced to use it (often under the misimpression that it will be "free"). The latter case is a bit ironic, because for years some enterprise web teams had to put up with bloated Web CMS tools from the likes of Documentum or IBM in a mistaken effort by IT to overreach and standardize on a single ECM supplier. Now we sometimes see IT throwing SharePoint over the wall to the business as almost a kind of abdication of any involvement.But using SharePoint for traditional web publishing is not a trivial undertaking. If you go that route, I'll commend you to a very useful white paper published by our partners at J
