Jon On Tech, 16.12.2009: Visions of Jon: WCM is for Losers
by Jon Marks: "Now this I agree with more than the CMS Watch version. Parts of ECM include Document Management, Records Management, Collaboration, Imaging, Workflow and all that good stuff. It is these pillars that allow a business to manage their content. The end game of all of these technologies is content sitting in a repository that can be easily found and consumed. The includes all the fun with versions, security, compliance and anything else you’d want to do with it. But it does not include setting up web based delivery channel that exposes some of this content. WCM should not be considered part of ECM."

Tony Byrne: "We've just updated our 'Content Technology Vendor Map' for 2010. The overall landscape has changed only a little -- most notably Interwoven and Vignette now go away as separate stops.
