I attended second thought-provoking presentation at last week’s Infonex seminar, Managing E-records in Canada’s Public Sector, in Ottawa.

Earlier this month, Gartner released the 2012 edition of the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Content Management (ECM).
The Magic Quadrant for ECM focuses on the technology side of ECM by evaluating the functionality of numerous ECM systems to help organizations “assess which ECM vendors have the functional capabilities and vision to support . . . [their] business requirements, and to determine which would therefore make suitable strategic partners.”
Gartner evaluates vendors on six core components of an ECM suite: 1) document management; 2) image-processing applications; 3) workflow/business process management (BPM); 4) records management through automation; 5)  web content management (WCM); and 6) social content for document sharing, collaboration and knowledge management.
