Enterprise Content Management (ECM): Vendor Disruption, Content Analytics and Cloud Top ECM Trends for 2016
An recent Ovum report looked at enterprise content management (ECM) trends to look for in 2016. These included:
- Disruption among major ECM vendors, especially for solution-based products
- Increased use of content analytics
- Records management and e-discovery to continue to be important for compliance and governance
- Increased demand for better security of data, enabled by information rights management and encryption
Sue Clarke, a Senior Analyst at Ovum, said that “2016 promises to be an eventful year in the ECM market, with organizations having greater freedom to select a best-of-breed approach to implementation, flexible deployment models, and the availability of applications to help manage and protect content.”
A story by Search ContentManagement covered ECM trends for 2016 as seen by Forrester. Forrester has many of the same expected trends on their list: increased use of cloud, need for security, analytics, and records management.
Cheryl McKinnon, Forrester Research analyst, said that “Many of the traditional [ECM] suites assembled technology over the years through acquisitions and it took a lot of time to really integrate and come up with a consistent user experience, and that’s where ECM has been kind of a struggle. These next generation platforms, which are typically architecture cloud-first, provide an opportunity to kind of start from a clean slate. They’re really focused on things like usability, reducing the number of clicks to perform key tasks, and they’ve got the data to back it up.”
