Having to focus on day to day delivery and short term objectives, many see such a fallen-from-the-sky (and on their head) gift as a source of misunderstanding and discomfort."

The Forrester Wave™, 12.11.2009: Enterprise Content Management Suites, Q4 2009 - Forrester Research
by Stephen Powers et.al.: "In Forrester's 70-criteria evaluation of eight enterprise content management (ECM) suite vendors, we found that IBM, Oracle, EMC, and Open Text lead due to breadth and depth of functionality and a continued focus on end-to-end ECM needs. Strong Performer Microsoft lacks depth in certain areas of ECM, with a focus on business content rather than transactional or persuasive, but its lighter footprint and collaboration functionality continue to give it market momentum. Other Strong Performers include Hyland Software — traditionally focused on imaging and archiving but expanding into records management and workflow — and HP, which has leveraged its 2008 TOWER Software acquisition and offers document management, imaging, and records. Finally, Contender Alfresco Software, with an open source offering, lacks overall ECM suite breadth, but it's gained traction with enterprises looking for an ECM alternative with a lower-cost entry point."

by James Manyika, Kara Sprague and Lareina Yee: "Knowledge workers fuel innovation and growth, yet the nature of knowledge work remains poorly understood—as do the ways to improve its effectiveness. The heart of what knowledge workers do on the job is collaborate, which in the broadest terms means they interact to solve problems, serve customers, engage with partners, and nurture new ideas. Technology and workflow processes support knowledge worker success and are increasingly sources of comparative differentiation. Those able to use new technologies to reshape how they work are finding significant productivity gains. This article shares our research on how technology can improve the quality and output of knowledge workers."

by Andrew McAfee: "Because of these facts I usually dodge questions about specific vendors and their offerings, and instead answer how I’d look at any particular deployment of collaboration software to see if it met my definition of Enterprise 2.0.

We were critical of this last year, but frankly it's just tiresome now. Thankfully his report has some very useful information for enterprises especially, so let's check that out."

by Jason Rothbart: "Most people quickly answer this question in the affirmative. I certainly do. However, there are people out there who aren't sure. They look at the monthly cost of a SaaS application and compare it to the equivalent licensed product over an extended period of time.
