No commentsIBM, Oracle, & Open Text Dominate A Recent Enterprise Content Manahement Report Released by Forrester Research
Last week, Forrester Research released a report on enterprise content management, which evaluated eight ECM vendors based on criteria including pricing, strategy, current offerings, and market presence. One of the conclusions reached in the report was that the ECM market has done surprisingly well in the past year despite the economic climate; Stephen Powers, a senior analyst at Forrester, noted there was a “very steady drumbeat of investment.”
Furthermore, Powers projected a steady rise in ECM innovation in the coming years. A factor driving the need for content management innovation: the deluge of unstructured information, ranging from documents to Web content, to emails. Some of the leading providers from the report are EMC, IBM, and Oracle, and HP, Microsoft, and Hyland Software received honorable mentions.
Another area of activity in the ECM market is the acquisition space. Autonomy, which provides enterprise search solutions, acquired content manager Interwoven, while ECM provider EMC bought Kazeion, which is an electronic discovery solutions vendor. Meanwhile, Open Text, which was another of the reports “Leaders,” acquired Web experience management vendor Vignette this past summer.
Part of the ranking was based on the completeness of offerings, but Powers points out vendors of componential products are still significant. His argument is that different types of content have different needs, and it is therefore common for enterprises to work solely with one model. Those vendors of integrative content management pieces are also good for companies that can’t afford an all-encompassing content management solution.

Gartner Names Oracle An Enterprise Content Management Leader
This month, Oracle received another feather in its cap: Gartner Research named Oracle to the Leaders Quadrant of their “Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Content Management” list.
Companies on the “Leaders” list were determined by several factors. First, they were those with the highest combined scores for Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision, as well as having a solid vision and plan for the future. Leaders also had strong ECM channel partners, presence in several regions, consistent financial performance, and good customer support. They also perform well in more than one technology or vertical market. In addition, their enterprise content management suites deliver in six key areas: document management, document imaging, records management, workflow, Web content management, and document-centric collaboration.
Oracle Content Management Suite is a part of their Fusion Middleware, and features Universal Content Management, Imaging and Process Management, and Universal Records Management. Gartner selected Oracle as a Leader for their platform’s ability to strengthen the ties between content and enterprise applications, boosting overall productivity. Oracle’s VP Product Management considers their Content Manager’s ability to simplify content management for all users one of their strong suits.

News Facts
With Oracle Universal Content Management, departments that have implemented the software have reduced the time required to develop and maintain their networks of Web sites. Before migrating to Oracle, Web page content was siloed, and users had to recreate page layouts for each site. Now, contributors can reuse existing content and page layouts across multiple sites.
