Report Excerpt

The Web CMS Report 2009 looks at... Mediasurface Immediacy

"The problem lies rather in the intangibles, where Immediacy is now in the market under new ownership, with an entirely new release and without a public roadmap. Partners come in all shapes and colors and without a partner certification program, it falls to the buyer to assess the quality of the project team. To be fair, Immediacy is taking actions to focus more on successful implementations, but with their unusually wide service offering this will undoubtedly take some time. "

CMS vendor Immediacy announces document management system

12-Dec-2006

In recent news the UK-based Web CMS vendor Immediacy began trumpeting a new lightweight document management system (DMS) add-on. As readers of the CMS Report, European Edition know, Immediacy offers basic, MS SharePoint-like functionality to manage Office documents. Other Web CMS vendors have been adding lightweight document management capabilities as well, and for some customers, it makes sense. Immediacy doubtless wants to make it easier for smaller UK government organizations to use them as their sole vendor, without the need to invest in third-party document management systems. That might work for some, but buyers should remember, that there is no "One Ring To Rule Them All." It is already difficult or impossible to find one CMS well-suited for the multiple scenarios in your enterprise. In our research we found Immediacy a decent fit for only three out of our twelve scenarios.
