Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: Ovum Plc
Published: November 2007
Product Code: R464-697Description Despite the consolidation of a number of the major vendors providing enterprise content management (ECM) technologies, and the resultant fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) for end-user organisations, we now have a very definite buyer’s market for those technologies. However, this may be considered somewhat counterintuitive given the continued expanding nature of the market. Furthermore, we can expect to see future consolidation and further disruption as Microsoft gains ‘mindshare’, and Web 2.0 tools start to gain wider adoption. Ovum believes that despite this dynamic environment, CIOs and their organisations can continue to have confidence in their ECM investments.
