Differentiating Capabilities. Risk-based ECM decision making « agile ramblings. In a previous post, we looked at ways to use process analysis to inform ECM decision making. In this post, we’ll look at one way to use a risk analysis to do the same. A basic risk analysis exercise has four steps: List risksList mitigationsCategorize mitigationsRank mitigations Depending on the complexity of the organization and the level of stakeholder involvement required, this exercise could be as simple as a single, 90-minute facilitated workshop or as complex as a multi-session effort lasting a few weeks (or months). Regardless of the size of the effort, the core activities you’ll need to perform are the same. 1. This is run as a typical brainstorming session, the goal being to gather as many risks from the participants as possible without editorializing, editing, censoring, providing feedback or commentary, etc.
Throughout, don’t get too hung up on figuring out exactly what bucket a risk goes into—take your best guess (or accept the best guess of the room) and move on. 2. 3. 4. 8 ECM Predictions for 2010 - Content Log. At the recent AIIM Board Meeting that I attended this month, AIIM President John Mancini asked us to blog using the number 8. Why 8? Because no one else is using that number and AIIM can brand around it. So what better way to start than with my 8 predictions for ECM and Open Source - emphasis on the former. I found that I had a lot more that I could have written, so I cheated and added two more on section 7+1 and section 8+1 for a total of 10. Still, I didn't get around to my thoughts on Apple, mobile, Google, Google Wave, New Applications, Mergers and Acquisitions, etc. Since I have to go home and I am the last one in the office, this will have to do! In no particular order... 1. Nothing affects the ECM industry more than the economy for good or bad. The prognosis for the economy is not entirely clear right now.
My guess is that economic recovery will continue and this could be a good year for ECM and enterprise software in general. 2. 3. 4. 5. Still WCM didn't do too badly in 2009. 8 Essentials to Consider for Social Computing and Collaboration. Jeetu Patel co-runs Doculabs, a strategy consulting firm focused on ECM, social computing and collaboration as well as process optimization. He also serves as a director on the AIIM board. Follow him on Twitter at or on his blog at 8 Essentials to Consider for Social Computing and Collaboration in Business 2009 was the year for social services taking off for consumers. 2010 seems like the year where momentum is rampantly building for social services and software use in business.
However, risk exposure for organizations actually being successful with social computing and collaboration (SC&C) can’t be ignored. 1 -- Focus on Adoption. If Warren Buffett were to simplify SC&C, he would probably say something like: Rule #1, Focus on Adoption. 2 -- Ensure a Very Iterative Deployment Model. One way to ensure failure in social computing and collaboration is to treat it like an ERP project. Email to most of us is a necessary evil. Tom Graves » Economics as enterprise-architecture. Several people asked me to cross-post to other ‘economics’ sites the previous post on ‘Whuffie’ and currencies‘. I wasn’t comfortable doing so without editing-out the comments about the ‘Ready? Fire! Aim…’ syndrome, which were specific to the conversations to which that post referred: hence the re-work in this post here. I’ve also taken the opportunity to extend some parts, to link it more strongly to my ‘day-job’ of enterprise-architecture. So: what can we learn if we tackle economics as enterprise-architecture?
(This’ll be another long one, hence I’ll place a ‘Read more…’ link here.) An enterprise-architecture develops in five distinct maturity-levels, which in turn define five distinct groups of work: What business are we in? We can do work from any of those maturity-levels at any time, and sometimes relative-priorities will force us to do so. So to have any chance of success, we need to go right back to the start: in architectural terms, what is ‘the economy’? Enterprise context. CIGNEX | Open Source ECM, BPM, E-Commerce, Portals.

Forrester says 2010 looks good for ECM. Forrester has released the results from its 2009 Global Enterprise Content Management Online Survey. Here are a few of the things that jumped out at me… 72% of respondents plan on increasing their ECM investments in the coming year. That’s certainly good news. Of those increasing their investment, the big drivers are content sharing, compliance, search, and automation, which are all typical reasons to roll out a content management solution. When asked to list the vendors that supply them with ECM solutions, 63% of respondents included Microsoft with EMC a distant second at 35%.
(I kind of expected that Microsoft number to be higher). OpenText/Vignette (29%) and IBM (28%) were clustered right around there with a third clump forming around Autonomy/Interwoven (19%), Oracle (17%), and Alfresco (14%). A little more than 1 in 4 of respondents were unsatisfied with their ECM solution. Trends: 2010 Content Technology Predictions. With only a few weeks left in 2009, it's time for our team of CMS Watch analysts to reveal our 2010 predictions, where we make our best guesses as to what the Content Technology industry will hold for you in the new year. This is our fourth year in a row trying to read the future, and like most predictors, our track record is mixed. If you'd like to see how we've done, you can view past predictions here: 2009, 2008, and 2007. On a whole, we think 2010 will be characterized by a movement by "back to the basics" among technology vendors.
This includes a renewed focus on internal content technology applications as we describe in today's press release. (One prediction we can guarantee is that 2010 will bring lots of new and exciting changes coming to CMS Watch, so keep watching this space!) Without further ado, here are our 2010 Content Technology Predictions. 4) Mobile will come of age for Document Management and Enterprise Search Does your ECM package come with its own mobile app store?
