EMC Opens Their Eyes and Has a Vision « Word of Pie
Let me break down the highlights. In the context of managing all content and information everywhere, Master Content Management (aka SkyNet), there are two alternatives for your infrastructure…
1. Data Centers: Trusted, Controlled, Reliable, and Secure.
2. Cloud Computing: Dynamic, Efficient, On-Demand, and Flexible
Three Fundamental CMIS Use Cases « Word of Pie
I’ve been meaning to get this done for a while. Over the last year, I’ve run into people that saw a need for CMIS as a whole, but didn’t think that it mattered for them. Usually, the reason was that they only saw one use case for CMIS. Well, there are three fundamental use cases for CMIS, with multiple examples for each.
To facilitate understanding of the use cases, I have created a presentation which I have placed up on SlideShare. You can go directly to The Point Of The Content Interoperability Services (CMIS) Standard, or view the embedded version here and read the elaboration of the use cases below.
Web Oriented Architecture using Oracle software (Web Oriented Architecture and Enterprise 2.0)
Take a look at this presentation. It describes the Web Oriented Architecture and explains why it needs a datagrid at the backend (Oracle Coherence), in order to scale the possible unpredictable "network effects" of one's own application.
Ten Requirements for Achieving Collaboration #2: Automatic Aggregation (Fusion ECM)
We are in the midst of a series investigating collaboration. I previously wrote about the two types of collaboration - intentional and accidental.
INTENTIONAL: where we get together to achieve a goal and
ACCIDENTAL: where you interact with something of mine and I am never aware of your interaction
While intentional collaboration is good it is not where the bulk of untapped collaborative potential lies. Accidental collaboration is. But the challenge is to *intentionally* facilitate accidental collaboration. For the full list of 10 requirements see the original post. Last week I wrote about requirement #1: how Human oriented information AND machine oriented information must be *able to be* seamlessly combined.

Ten Requirements for Achieving Collaboration #1: Seamlessly combine human oriented and machine oriented information. (Fusion ECM)
You will recall that I previously wrote about the two types of collaboration -
INTENTIONAL: where we get together to achieve a goal and
ACCIDENTAL: where you interact with something of mine and I am never aware of your interaction
While intentional collaboration is good it is not where the bulk of untapped collaborative potential lies. Accidental collaboration is. But the challenge is to *intentionally* facilitate accidental collaboration.
Why unlocking ECM is critical to your Enterprise 2.0 execution plan | Pretzel Logic - Enterprise 2.0
If you’re a large organization using enterprise content management systems (ECM), chances are that its powering images, documents and records management, and web content. These systems enforce roles, workflows, access control and versioning to enable the creation, management and dissemination of media assets.
What this means is that from the very beginning of a given business activity, a few people control the creation of information that employees, customers, partners and suppliers rely on to move your business forward. Like it or not, this puts the responsibility/power to influence business performance in the hands of a few, with little input from other unknown experts, or consumers of this data. You only find out how effective the content turned out to be once its consumed (and long after you can optimize).
2 Types of Collaboration & 10 Requirements for Achieving Them (Fusion ECM)
Collaboration comes in two flavors: Accidental and Intentional. Enterprise 2.0 technologies have become very good at facilitating intentional collaboration. They are meeting us where we are at and linking people across distances, across political spectra, and across expertise domains.
Examples include the social network sites (I friend you, you friend me), Twitter (I follow you and read your stuff - you follow me and read my stuff) and blogs (I write, you read and comment, I answer and write again). In each case the decision to friend, follow and read are intentional. These technologies mimic human interactions that are as old as humanity - making introductions, updating friends followers fans and disciples and public declamation.
While technical mediation of these legacy human communication modes is interesting, it is not where most of the power and potential lie. Accidental collaboration is.
Structured and Unstructured Information in the Enterprise (Fusion ECM)
Information is the currency of the enterprise. While we sell products or services, it is information that brokers that transaction. Whether we create reports, devise strategies, or process queues of applications we consume, create and consider information. Enterprise 2.0 technologies and Web 2.0 behavior patterns have not changed any of this. Rather they have augmented the modes and methodologies through which we process information to execute our responsibilities.

12 Content Management Systems Recommended by Readers
I recently published a post, CMS Toolbox, that described a number of leading content management systems and provided links to resources for each. The post drew some very good feedback and a lot of suggestions for others that readers would like to see included. So as a result I thought it might be helpful to publish this list of recommendations that were made by readers (and in fact this follow up was also suggested by a reader).
Here you will find 12 content management systems and quotes from reader comments about each. Since I haven’t used these systems before I thought it would be best to simply let the readers do the talking. Some of the comments included more descriptive information than others, so for those CMSs that didn’t have much of a description from readers I have also included some information from their website.
ECM in the Cloud
This is a quick post about an idea that came to me as I was driving today. I was wondering if there is much of an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) play today in the Cloud Computing space. My answer is … sort of.
This is a continuation in a series in Cloud Computing. Starting with Is your Future Cloudy? and Part II was Your own Virtual and Private Cloud. The next post will be about “The Rise of the Cloudlet” and will continue with more specific posts like this related to ECM and other industries.

Removing Poor Quality Content Increases Customer Satisfaction
If you work on the Web you live in a culture of content production. It’s all about the creation and publishing of content. The web team has the skills to create content, to create images, to create webpages, to create HTML, to use the content management software to publish all this stuff. The web team is a creation unit, a production unit.
Most web teams have little capacity to review and remove. They know how to put pages up but many don’t know how to remove one. In fact, some content management software packages make it extremely difficult to remove a webpage even if you want to.
Real-World ECM Success Stories | Bex Huff
On my recent book tour, I presented some real-world examples of successful UCM strategies. It included some tips and warnings that Andy and I used to help us write the book... and shared some hard return-on-investment numbers from existing UCM clients. I uploaded the presentation to Slideshare, for those of you who were interested... or the lazy can just view it below:
The Convergence of Social Media and ECM
Social Media gets a lot of press these days and rightfully so. This article discusses some of the old school technologies that have incorporated the concepts and have set the stage for the rise of Social Media.

More specifically, this is a post about how Social Media tools will continue to provide the keys to building the next generation of ECM solutions.
