What organizations are doing with content has outgrown the traditional definitions. We need a new “technology roadmap” for the information management capabilities that are critical to Digital Transformation and to meeting the challenge of radically redefining experiences with customers, employees, and partners. Follow along as we explore Intelligent Information Management.

7. “The forecast for 2020: ECM as
we know it will be gone.”
--John Mancini, March 2015
8. “ECM is now dead (kaput, finite,
an ex-market name), at least in
how Gartner defines the market.
It’s been replaced by the term
Content Services.”
--January 2017
9. And yet, content – and the
people who manage it -- have
NEVER been more important
than NOW.

is creative destruction.”

1 Consumerization -- “The future comes looking like something you can’t use for real
work.” (Andreessen Horowitz)
2 Cloud -- “If someone asks me what cloud computing is, I try not to get bogged
down with definitions.” (Mark Benioff, Salesforce)
3 Privacy -- “I am regularly asked what the average Internet user can do to ensure his
security. My first answer…‘Nothing; you're screwed.’” (Bruce Schneier)
4 Data -- “Exponential growth is deceptive, then explosive.” (Ray Kurzweil)
5 Platforms -- “Amazon has become the Prince of Darkness for retail, occupying a
unique position— inversely correlated to the rest of the sector.” (Scott Galloway)
6 Machine Learning -- “We know more than we can tell.” (Polanyi’s Paradox)

32. 1. Living in disruptive times.
2. “ECM” through the eyes of users.
33. Traditional ECM
Process Focus is on automating content intensive, complicated, mission-
critical processes; solutions initially confined to departments at large
Fortune 500 organizations. ECM believes it’s an enterprise layer, but
is often still driven by departments.
Technology Complex, custom and expensive implementations initially purchased
by business buyers. Rise – and then decline – of the “suites,” with
focus shifting to the technology buyer as ECM matures.
People Solutions are difficult to use and require lots of training, but it does
not matter because the people who use these systems are records
and document specialists. SharePoint eventually disrupts the
traditional ECM market by shifting focus to knowledge workers.

• 73% -- “Core content management capabilities (versioning, metadata,
retention requirements) will increasingly be embedded automatically
rather conducted by a separate ECM system.”
• 71% -- “Much as we might wish it otherwise, we exist in a multi-
repository world and that’s not going to change.”
• 81% -- “We would prefer to pick and choose the content management
capabilities we need for a particular problem rather than buy
everything.”
• 67% -- “The kinds of content management capabilities we need vary
wildly depending on the process we are considering.”
