The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Content Management Suites, Q4 2007

EMC, IBM, And Oracle Lead, With Open Text Leading Pure Plays

by Kyle McNabb

with Connie Moore, Diana Levitt

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

Forrester evaluated 11 enterprise content management (ECM) suite vendors across approximately 60 criteria and found that IBM, EMC, and Oracle lead thanks to suite breadth and a focus on enterprise information management needs. Open Text leads all pure plays with a strong core suite of ECM tools. Interwoven, Hyland, and Vignette, all Strong Performers, focus more attention on supporting content-centric applications than providing an ECM platform. Microsoft, another Strong Performer, misses some important features, but it has a bright future in ECM. Finally, Contenders SAP, Xerox, and Alfresco Software lack breadth and depth but show promise in ECM as alternatives to ECM's four horsemen: EMC, IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle.
