A new edition of our ECM Suites Report

18-May-2007

Is "departmental enterprise content management" an oxymoron? We think not. In fact, much of the growth in the ECM industry is serving small- to mid-sized businesses and individual enterprise departments seeking to undertake basic document and records management. So for those customers, we've created a new (lower-cost) edition of our ECM Suites Report. The newer edition covers just 15 of the 30 vendors in the full report who provide basic document collaboration and/or records management (e.g. Microsoft, Xerox). That means it doesn't cover the traditional enterprisey products (e.g., Documentum, Open Text), so if you're considering those suppliers, you'll want the regular, enterprise edition. This short PDF chart contrasts the two editions and explains which one might better suit your needs. Please don't hesitate to inquire with any questions or comments.
