• State of the ECM Industry 2011 - How well is it meeting business needs?

  This year’s ECM report shows a much more mature user-base, integrating existing and new ECM and RM suites, SharePoint portals and vertical-market add-ons, into genuinely universal information access and content management infrastructures. Users are keen to attack content chaos and drive cost reductions, but are also looking for more effective staff collaboration and engagement.  We measured how well ECM systems are matching industry-specific needs, what are the most popular strategies for integration, and how is SharePoint fitting in.

• SharePoint - Strategies and Experiences

  In many organizations, SharePoint deployment is speeding ahead with little thought to the information management implications of documents stored within its libraries and team sites. In other businesses there is confusion as to how SharePoint is utilized alongside existing document management and ECM systems.

  In this report we measure the take up of SharePoint, its utilization for traditional ECM applications, strategies for integration, and use of third party add-on applications. We also provide advice for those implementing SharePoint based on the experiences of over 500 existing users from the AIIM community.
