Vendor Landscape Plus: Enterprise Content Management Suites
ECM is a vendor marketing concept, not an IT strategy.
- ECM is a complicated collection of technologies that address a diversity of business needs.
- Stacking business needs against vendor offerings results in apples-to-oranges comparisons that make selection difficult.
- Cut through the marketing hype. Don’t waste three meetings trying to figure out how vendor offerings differ and how they will meet your requirements.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
