How matured the vendors offerings or services are depends upon their CMS services and its technical capabilities. Many vendors treat ECM as their challenge and try to give best so they can lead the market. Ovum names few as market challengers considering and weighing the Enterprise CMS with minute details and a detailed report stating all the specific situations that states how long the ECM can deploy.
Let us see some facts that enable these vendors to enjoy their names in Ovum.
OpenText has come out with Hummingbird along with other great ECM products so as to build some set of consistent products. These products are meant for reflecting more on customer satisfaction with its advanced integrated software.
Autonomy brings solutions that enable efficient information management in all terms. Its products are a great combination of best-ofbreed content management components but still the progress is yet to be seen.
Alfresco mostly follows giant vendors for both small and large contracts.
SharePoint by Microsoft offers renowned and committed solutions in the name of content management.
IBM provides ...
... matured products that work as perfect-fits for organizations that require large and complex content management processing.
There are not many players when we talk of ECM vendors in the market but despite of this fact still the variety of vendor solutions is significant for deployment in organizations. Ovum has some criteria that enable vendors to enjoy a specific position. All the reports and surveys are based on their offerings, customer-oriented services, and benefits for organization, CMS supports, its adaptability and some more. Open sources play a very important role for various developments today. Being free natured and available under GNU license they lower costs of development to a higher extend and allows vendors to offer open source development, enterprise software solutions and open source software development to benefit enterprise organizations the most and fight the tough competitions with more productivity, operational efficiency and competitiveness.
Enterprise software solutions from giants vary from each other and not all of them are leaders in the market. Ovum states Oracle and Autonomy to be the market challengers for ECM. These both vendors enjoy the very next position after the leaders in Ovum’s category. This is because they are found to be well-positioned in the market as they do offer ECM functionality with cost-effective advantage along with good strengths in their sales and marketing programs.
Now here are the followers and Ovum also presents with two names which are Alfresco and Microsoft’s SharePoint. CIO’s may desire to include these names on their list but Ovum notices that their solutions have limitations in many terms like functionality, applicability or execution. Also it is believed strongly that Alfresco will give a tough fight by presenting significant challenge to other leader for ECM solutions. This challenge is expected from Alfresco in a short time, may be in a year or two.
Further for Microsoft’s share in ECM, Ovum instead finds here that it is a horizontal collaborative platform that enables storing and seamless sharing of information along with functionality that helps in managing records.
