Predictions for ECM


1. ECM will standardize, commoditize and the business model will change 2. ECM will become simpler, lighter-weight, and much easier 3. ECM will deploy new technologies to scale to dynamically serve the enterprise and beyond

4. ECM will decentralize, federate and integrate with the rest of the enterprise
5. Open source will become a powerful force for change in ECM
