Description

This IDC study examines the use of document/content management solutions among small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) by company size and vertical industry and highlights the most important reasons for implementing these solutions. The study also discusses the major selling points and product strengths of document management vendors as of 2005, examining both ISVs and hardware manufacturers.

"Document management solutions represent a growing market that has great future potential" says Kwon Chin, research manager with IDC's Document Solutions service. "The enterprise market is crowded, but the SMB space is still wide open, with increased education driving demand as well as the overall market size. The purchasing decisions of SMBs rely on faster turnaround times than enterprise customers, so there is an opportunity to establish a large number of 'quick hits' in this market."
