I just returned from the #e2conf ( www.e2conf.com ) event in Boston, which focused on the rapid expansion of social collaboration platforms, and was not surprised by many of the concerns among the participants about impacts to existing platforms and architectures -- and what to do with the growing fragmentation of their content. Enterprise Content Management (ECM) as a category has been so much about the organization of content across the many data silos, but ECM has become yet another data silo, as identified by AIIM CEO John Mancini in his most recent CMSWire article Digital Chatter, Information Overload, and How to Get it Under Control
3 Comments - Our content strategy isn't as complicated at the moment but we still have issues with authorship
Someone, somewhere once said that ECM is about managing unstructured content. That may have been true once upon a long time ago; not anymore
It seems that it boils down to two types of software to manage slightly different file formats – database software and content management software
It seems I’m not the only one that doesn’t believe in the myth of unstructured content. Like Sasquatch, Santa Claus, and Ogopogo (CRTC mandated Canadian content), we’ve all heard about it, but have we really seen it?
This is why formatting styles were introduced in early versions of the product, but even these may introduce problems since they are too flexible. When writing content, it is often better to be able to concentrate on the content rather than the look, and leave the latter to more experienced designers
