I finished reading this article from CMS Wire (I don’t mean I actually read the whole article) and it got me thinking … Between that article, others I’ve read, and some of the projects I’ve been working on this year, this whole ECM thing is a total crock. The vendors, the consultants, the...
If I were to start an enterprise software company today, I’d give the licenses away. No, I am not thinking about open source at all. I’m thinking about services, non-core functionality, and integration. I’ll stick to Enterprise Content Management software, but the principles...

Funny thing about memories. They tend to distort some details while being eerily accurate on others. For example, when I look back at the early stages of my career, I perceive myself as significantly dumber than I am now. But every now and then I get a glimpse of who I was through a semi...
Apparently, my rant about marketing ploys I will no longer tolerate was written one day too soon. I left out the “ when you’re ready for a big-boy bike ” technique. I had a call from an ECM vendor yesterday who, after hearing that we have been successfully using SharePoint for...
How is the recovery going for everyone after the Info 360 conference? It was awesome to meet many of you in person, and to catch up with old friends. Note – the rumors of industry revolution and overthrow are only slightly exaggerated. To recap this crazy event, I felt like a...

In less than two weeks the ARMA International Annual Conference will be held in San Francisco, California. Along with a host of educational classes and social events to attend, the Conference will also have a two-day vendor exhibit. If your company is considering adding electronic records...
Imagine that I have a time traveling DeLorean that can magically whisk you back in time to before you started your capture project. I know, you aren’t supposed to take rides from strangers, but let’s make an exception. We’ve all heard the phrase that hindsight is 20/20,...
Last month, Cheryl McKinnon brought up an excellent point when looking at ECM technology vendors and when you evaluate your existing technology- vendor lock in isn't the issue, content lock in is. At first, this didn't make sense to me; I've been brought in for...
