Examine the Enterprise Content Management Systems Market: Including an Analysis of Market Shares, Strategies and Forecasts to 2014

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/edfc9d/enterprise_content)
has announced the addition of WinterGreen Research, Inc.'s new report
"Enterprise Content Management Market Shares, Strategies, and
Forecasts, 2008 to 2014" to their offering.

This research announces that it has a new study on enterprise
content management markets. Systems are poised for significant growth
as people move to purchase for new marketing and Web based
applications based on XML and Web technologies.

Enterprise content management (ECM) systems are basic
infrastructure for unstructured information. Unstructured information
is becoming more structured as it is tagged with XML tags and managed
in components enabling reuse and repurposing of content.

Content management is a central aspect of growing any business and
staying competitive. Because content management provides access to
information that can be used for decision making, the indexing and
tagging systems become a significant aspect of determining usefulness.

Enterprise content management solutions help corporations
organize, control and access vital business image and video content
useful for designing marketing campaigns. Enterprise content
management solutions matters to corporate IT because there are
ever-increasing volumes of information, mounting regulatory
requirements, and legislative pressure to provide information in a
manner that is responsive to requests.

Supplier consolidation is driven by the movement of enterprise
content management (ECM) to more complex infrastructure that requires
ever increasing integration of systems. Disparate applications work
with isolated repositories and these systems need to be integrated.
Caching systems are evolving inside repository systems to speed up
delivery of information. Alternative delivery systems are creating
flexibility for document and content capabilities. The entry of
software as a services (SaaS) players and open source players changes
the market by giving Web 2.0 market participants strategic advantage.

Content management relates to finding accurate information easily
and to finding information that is not outdated. Clients and support
teams report that the quantity of content is a problem. Being
overwhelmed with too much old information relates to bad decision
making and flawed conclusions.

User problems with technical content are common. The problem is
that sometimes users cannot find information quickly; they cannot
understand it or cannot tell if it's current if they do find it, and
information may be inconsistent. Good content management systems
eliminate this possibility.

Enterprise content management is the base for a Web 2.0 strategy.
Unification and structure for non-transactional information is needed
in Web 2.0 environments. Web 2.0 is a lot of things -- it is image and
video centric, it is social networking, it is runtime engines that are
worked on by programmers 24x7, it is blogs, it is wikis, it is
collaboration software, and it represents dynamic implementation of
presentation logic.

Information is doubling at a rate of once every 7 months and this
rate of increase is growing. Enterprise content management permits
users to integrate a diverse set of technologies into a coherent
product portfolio. The enterprise content management markets are
anticipated to have exponential growth in content generation
management and replication. Content-centric collaboration within
enterprises is used to deploy technology solutions to address the
information accumulation challenge.

Enterprise content management markets at $3.4 billion in 2007 are
anticipated to triple to $9.3 billion by 2014. Revenue from the
worldwide ECM market is anticipated to grow at 19% through 2014 in
response to new analytics that permit improved decision making.

The ability to access information more rapidly, and to use that
information to make informed decisions, is part of automated process.
Initiatives that use text to implement services oriented architecture
(SOA) services are anticipated to create a climate for growth of
content management services. In this context documents may be text
based, image based, video content, or software system modules. All the
modules require management and indexing.
