Report Excerpt

The ECM Report looks at... Xythos' Partitioning Document Content

"The unusual element of Xythos architecture comes in its use of document stores. These are database structures used to store file metadata (and the file itself, if required). Though there is nothing new or innovative in managing metadata in a database and the content itself in a separate environment, the focus on partitioning content into many small document stores and then managing these via load balancers and webservers is somewhat different as it provides a web version of the more tradition client-server structure of original document/file management systems ..."

Announcing the ECM Maturity Model

24-Feb-2009   --  

I'm pleased to share that CMS Watch, Wipro, Hartman Communicatie, and Smigiel Consulting Group have published Version 1.0 of an "Enterprise Content Management Maturity Model," or ECM3 for short. Alan says in the release:

    Like all maturity models, it is partly descriptive and partly prescriptive. You can apply the model to audit, assess, and explain your current state, as well as inform a roadmap for maturing your enterprise capabilities.

Like I say, it's a Version 1.0 document. We've released it to creative commons and expect the wider ECM community to "mature" the model itself. Find out more at www.ecm3.org.
