Change Management | Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
For better or worse, I have been in the ECM industry for over a decade and a half. During this time, I have consistently seen opportunities for organizations to use ECM to bring about transformative value. But more often than not, ECM implementations fall short of the initial promise.

Analytics | Enterprise Content Management (ECM) | Enterprise Search
The term "Content Analytics" has been coined to cover a range of advanced search and content reporting technologies. In our new Industry Watch survey, we found that organizations could derive much higher business value from content analytics tools than from simple search-engines.

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) | Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

Meanwhile ECM has grown rapidly to become the repository of all the unstructured content and documents that accumulate outside of the purely transactional processes. Joining up these two major business engines has major potential as a common information interface for users across the business.
