Silver Spring, MD (Business Wire) 18 December 2007
CMS Watch has offered 12 predictions that the vendor market research firm believes content technologies in 2008 will make. The complete set of predictions is available at: http://www.cmswatch.com/Feature/172-2008.
CMS Watch analyst team provides both negative and positive trends. One of the things that can lose their luster in the next year “. Web 2.0″ Facebook, SharePoint, But content technology customers should encounter more of a buyer’s market for content technology services, and are companies focusing on critical infrastructure needs such as better archiving and simpler search solutions.
see“Perhaps equally remarkable is that we do not predict,” noted CMS Watch Principal, Theresa Regli. “We are not predicting rampant vendor consolidation, dramatic technological innovation, or Microsoft / Google hegemony – rather the trends we see for 2008 revolve around the design rather better with the technologies already close at hand.”
The 12 predictions are
1 Archiving is a priority for ECM vendors
2 Google is an attempt to be the world’s content repository
3 SharePoint enters the valley of disappointment
4 The return of the buyer’s market
5 Web 2.0 exhaustion
6 Social Software Vendor collision
7 Facebook game in the company
8 Security and Identity Management trump functionality for buyers
9 Finally, bridging web analytics and online marketing
10 The search is dead … Not!
11 Productization find platforms
12th We have 12 new forecasts for next year
The final prognosis is tongue-in-cheek. “Analyst firms love to make predictions, and we are no different,” said CMS Watch founder Tony Byrne. “But do not move the technology into the regular calendar cycles -. fads can crest and fade in a short season, while the really important, seismic shifts tend to happen for years,”
