The document presents a 'future history' of content management, based on meetings with leading ECM suppliers and IT executives. It explores the evolution of the ECM industry, implications of social business systems, and suggests a follow-up white paper to help executives navigate these changes through 2010-2015. Key themes include the transition from systems of record to systems of engagement and the need for improved collaboration and information management strategies.
A future history of content management
- 1. A “Future History” of Content Management
- 2. • The following is a short “future history” of content management. • This presentation is an excerpt from a much longer series of presentations based on a series of meetings with a Task Force of leading ECM suppliers and interviews with 20+ senior IT executives from end user organizations. • The meetings were led by Geoffrey Moore, author many technology books and publications, most notably Crossing the Chasm and Inside the Tornado. 2
- 3. • The purpose of the Task Force was to think through the following questions: • Where is the ECM industry headed? • How will the evolution of Social Business Systems affect the future of ECM? • What are the issues facing end users who wish to better leverage their information management systems to: a) improve operating flexibility; and b) better engage with customers? • For more information on the themes and concepts briefly summarized here – including the possibility of keynote presentations at conferences and executive briefings briefings – contact John Mancini at johnmancini@aiim.org. 3

Next Steps… • In early November, the Task Force will release a follow-up presentation and white paper – an Information Roadmap 2010-2015 – designed to help senior executives sort through the strategic implications of Social Business Systems. • To get on the special distribution list for this white paper, go to this link – http://www.aiim.org/futurehistory. • To get a copy of the press release for this presentation, go to http://www.aiim.org/Resources/Press-Releases/40797. • Interested in a keynote or executive briefing on some of the themes outlined here? – contact johnmancini@aiim.org. 4
