-- Len Asprey, Director, Practical Information Management Solutions Pty Ltd, and, Author, Integrative Document and Content Management

"What I like about the overall ECM Suites Report is that it deals not just with the vendors but provides a view of the business case and when to write it. Introduces you to the ECM landscape and then looks into the players."
-- Paul McTaggart, ECM Practice Manager, i-Gen

"As always the production quality is of the highest order, and the writing style manages to communicate the product functionalities well without requiring you to be a major in computing science. To my mind the ECM Suites Report will be the de facto reference for the foreseeable future. "
-- Martin White, Managing Director, Intranet Focus Ltd

"Bottom line: I wholeheartedly recommend the ECM Suites Report as a resource for end user organizations -- and consultants who haven't worked with every solution listed would be well-served to acquire a copy as well."
-- Jesse Wilkins, Principal Consultant, Access Sciences

"The ECM Suites Report is like having a veteran consultant in your back pocket. This report not only objectively reviews the major ECM vendors, which by itself is worth the cost, but also thoroughly explains the technology components of an ECM system. ECM remains after many years a misunderstood term, and this report finally and authoritatively puts that misunderstanding to bed."
-- Bud Porter-Roth, Principal Consultant, Porter-Roth Associates, and Author, The RFP Handbook
