Despite the slowdown in the economy, Enterprise Content Management (ECM) market hasn’t exactly been on hard times. \u00a0Gartner estimates that ECM spending<\/a> grew at\u00a05.9 percent in 2009<\/a>, followed by 7.6 percent growth in 2010. \u00a0Gartner forecasts that ECM will grow with a compound annual growth rate of 11.4 percent through 2015. \u00a0Not too bad. \u00a0But now, Forrester is predicting<\/a> that 2012 will be a year where growth in the ECM market picks up considerably more.<\/div>\n

In a new Forrester report on the ECM market, Alan Weintraub<\/a> argues that advances in cloud computing, mobile content access and enterprise collaboration technologies are being integrated into ECM vendor offerings, making ECM very compelling for many organizations. \u00a0Smartphones and mobile devices are making it possible to consume data and content anywhere, and 97 percent of organizations say that they plan to include mobile access to their ECM systems. \u00a0 Cloud computing makes it easier to offer up content remotely, more quickly, and much more cost effectively than an on-premise model. \u00a0[Alfresco <\/a>is a good example of this trend. \u00a0The focus of Alfresco’s recent release of version 4 focuses on cloud computing and mobile access features.]<\/div>\n
