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.

Longtime OpenMarket integrator Granitar has just released a series of Plumtree portal gadgets for the Content Server WCM product now owned by divine. Always nice for a software vendor when your partners do some heavy lifting, eh? The question is: will divine -- which carries a very large professional services practice -- reciprocate by keeping OpenMarket's integrator channel intact?...See the Granitar press release
One of the trickier tasks in any Web CMS is publishing a new area of a site in its entirety, e.g., multiple content items, new template components, and perhaps some additional business and display objects. The new Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 WCM has no native facilities for this. But the large Microsoft developer channel often develops work-arounds for these sorts of shortcomings, and some are starting to appear on blogs. Case in point: this command line extension for approving and promoting an entire collection, shared by a MOSS consultant in Florida. It's not as useful as the functions for manipulating collections that you can find in more higher-end products, but it's a start...
Our new SharePoint Report explains how one of the core challenges with the platform -- dating from inception through to MOSS 2007 -- is that the needs of a collaboration service often conflict with the requirements of other information services, particularly around website publishing. One example: like many other portal vendors, by default MOSS wants to insert a lot of extra code and non-standard mark-up on every page to create an interactive collaboration dashboard. As this MSDN brief on how to performance-tune a MOSS 2007 WCM site warns, "Office SharePoint Server, by default, is not XHTML compliant." This has manifold implications for website publishing, not the least of which is accessibility. Can you fix this? Yes, with an experienced developer carefully going into the innards of the tool at various levels to replace code. Not particularly friendly.
IBM's recent announcement that it was finally integrating it's "Content Manager" application (an established collection of mostly DM and imaging tools) with its WebSphere portal offering prompted some observers to claim that Big Blue was finally staking a claim in the Web Content Management space. We don't think so -- at least not yet. The integration (actually planned for later this Autumn) really just puts a newer, Web face on Content Manager, something its competitors have had for some time. We believe IBM will continue to play the field with WCM partnerships designed to push IBM's core DB and Appserver products, well into 2003...Read the IBM Announcement
