Report Excerpt

The ECM Report looks at... DocuShare's Workflow and BPM

"The DocuShare CPX workflow module is ambitious and claims to be a full BPM tool; but this is stretching it a little as it is really a human/document-centric system that does not have the EAI/Data-centric capabilities we would expect in a full BPM offering.

Oracle Buys Context Media

01-Aug-2005   --  

The enterprise content integration (ECI) vendors never got very big, but the concepts they espoused had a major impact, and now just about all the independent ones are gone, as Oracle has reportedly acquired Context Media in an asset sale. Previously Documentum had purchased AskOnce, and IBM had acquired Venetica. Vignette and Day already have some native ECI toolsets. Poor FileNet and especially Interwoven.
