Gartner: “ECM is now dead (kaput, finite, an ex-market name), at least in how Gartner defines the market. It’s been replaced by the term Content Services.” What is happening in the enterprise IT space – and how is it impacting content management?

According to Radicati, the average worker sends or receives 122 emails per day. The Washington Post notes, “Any cubicle drone with a corporate email address knows this well already, of course, but a new report from Adobe describes the problem with some pretty startling numbers.

"The World Turned Upside Down" is an English ballad, first published in the middle of the 1640s to protest the policies of Parliament relating to Christmas. Parliament believed the holiday should be a solemn occasion and outlawed traditional English Christmas celebrations. Fans of the musical Hamilton will recognize the tune in another context.

In 2007, SharePoint began the long process of turning the world of ECM – Enterprise Content Management – upside down.

2016 was certainly a year of radical change. At the macro-political level, we witnessed the “ouster of the incumbents” with first the Brexit vote in June and then the U.S. Presidential election in November. In the sports arena, the insurgents triumphed, and two teams with a collective 176 years of frustrated championship expectations battled for the World Series. PokemonGo swept the world and led to a host of injuries when enthusiastic participants careened into each other and into stationary objects whilst staring at their screens. Alexa Echo Dots began appearing on every imaginable surface, listening ...listening... listening. And perhaps because of the need to be silent in the face of all of this listening, silent Mannequin Challenges became all the rage.
