Worldwide Content Management Software and 2008 Vendor Shares

This IDC study provides vendor-specific revenue and market shares for the leading content management vendors for the period 2006-2008. An updated five-year forecast for the content management software market for 2009-2013 was published in Worldwide Content Management Software 2009-2013 Forecast: First Look (IDC #217207, March 2009).

"The content management software market — including document management, capture and image management, Web content management, digital asset management, and records management — grew 9.5% in 2008, strong growth by any measure and particularly strong given the deteriorating economy in the fourth quarter," said Melissa Webster, program vice president, Content Technologies and Digital Media at IDC. "Growth in the content management market continues to be driven by several of the key priorities for enterprise software spend, including the need to ensure regulatory compliance and reduce risk, the need to boost information worker productivity and improve the cost-effectiveness of document-intensive business processes, and the desire to leverage the Web to build brand, strengthen customer relationships, and grow revenue."
