Introduction
Due to demand from enterprises looking to invest in ECM solutions, Datamonitor has developed the ECM Decision Matrix. The Decision Matrix provides a comprehensive and transparent view of vendor capabilities in the ECM market and presents advice on which vendors should be explored, considered and shortlisted.
Scope
*Provides an overview of the most important trends driving the competitive dynamics in the ECM market.
*Benchmarks ECM vendors in terms of their technology, user sentiment and market impact.
*Presents a detailed view of each vendor's ECM offering and capabilities, as well as providing advice on the suitability of these offerings.
*Vendors covered include: Alfresco, EMC, HP, IBM, Microsoft, Open Text, Oracle, Vignette, and Nuxeo
Highlights
The ECM market continues to consolidate with two major acquisitions in 2009 - Autonomy buying Interwoven and Open Text announcing its intention acquire Vignette. Datamonitor observes that a majority of the recent acquisitions have been driven by the need to achieve greater market share, rather than gap-filling portfolio offerings.
It remains to be seen how vendors that acquire competitors for increasing market share handle competing product lines within their own portfolio. Datamonitor believes that customer retention being key, vendors will not hive-off redundant product lines just yet. However, some rationalization will likely happen over the next one to two years.
Although the ECM market is technologically mature for the most part, differentiation is still possible in emerging areas, such as transactional content management and digital asset management. Interoperability is also a key focus for existing ECM vendors and a majority look to be embracing popular standards to this end.
Reasons to Purchase
*Gain detailed knowledge of ECM vendors' strengths with regards to technology, user sentiment and market impact.
*ECM vendors can benchmark their own performance in various key criteria against their competitors.
*Enterprise IT managers will gain valuable insight to improve their content management purchasing decisions.
