ECM

During the  MTC 3 event, I met nice people like Bertrand Delacrétaz (one of the ASF Board members) who made an excellent presentation on the Apache Foundation. During his presentation, he explained how this nice foundation is organized and why the ASF projects are solid as the rock. He also introduced Sling which is a new content/web framework based on Jackrabbit , REST and OSGI.

You are welcome to join us to the upcoming open source event in Luxembourg 'Meet the communities' (June 12th). This year, three prestigious ECM communities will present their solution and how they are providing high quality software. This will be a great opportunity to meet peoples from Alfresco , Day and Nuxeo .

You can find more information on the MTC Site.

If you plan a new ECM/CMS consolidation project in your organisation, I advise you to read the excellent article in the financial time and review the comments made by Seth Gottlieb.

Have fun by reading those pages.

There is an "interesting" article in the latest AIIM E-DOC Magazine about ECM trends for 2007.

Following this article, the ECM market in 2007 will be like this:

• Microsoft will be there with its Office Share- Point Server (MOSS) and enterprise-class vendors like IBM, EMC will match up with their own offering.
• A real growth opportunity will be in the SMB market, mainly because local resellers will leverage Microsoft and bring ECM to a market that has been underserved by a fragmented industry.
• Vendor consolidation will continue. It is a good news :-)
• Now, we have to manage and store new kind of content like Wikis, blogs, VOIP data streams, and mobile phone SMS messages, ...
• We will enjoy a better understanding of best practices. It is also a good news :-)
• The future is not clear and the ECM open source market is not yet well defined.

If you want to learn day after day the different ECM aspects and the content technologies around that, I advise you to add into your rss reader the Malcontent site .

The Malcontents is a regularly occurring podcast that discusses different trends and issues in the content management industry. The hosts, Seth Gottlieb and Bryant Shea, invite experts from the CM Professionals membership and beyond for a casual exchange of ideas and experiences.
