Gartner о ECM рынке в 2009 году

Давно не писал о ECM рынке (последний раз наверное год назад и было — Microsoft в лидерах ECM-систем по версии Gartner). е так давно вышел новый обзор ECM-рынка от Gartner — Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Content Management. MS по прежнему активно прогрессирует. Сами квадранты под катом, а вот что написал Gartner про MS:

Strengths

Because MOSS 2007 goes well beyond basic content management into portal, search and collaboration technologies, it has attracted a large following since its release almost three years ago. Few Gartner inquiries about ECM fail to touch on SharePoint, partly because of Microsoft’s successful "seeding" strategy of including core library services in Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) that are "free" and easy to use.

Thanks to Microsoft’s position as a "stack" vendor, MOSS 2007 has attracted a very large ecosystem, with many third-party software vendors building extensions and system integrators generating big business around deployments and customizations.

SharePoint has caused many enterprises to focus on an ECM strategy. This influence has also been felt by the other vendors in the market, which either position their products as logical supplements in a hybrid content architecture based on SharePoint, or shift their product messaging toward vertical-market solutions that deliver value owing to their specificity to domains where Microsoft does not compete.

Cautions

MOSS 2007 has records management and archiving limitations, modest WCM capabilities, and limited BPM/imaging capabilities for building composite content applications.

Customer feedback regarding large, decentralized deployments of MOSS 2007 indicates a need for improvements in scalability, deployment management, latency and replication functionality.

Although SharePoint’s flexibility is a benefit, it also creates challenges as enterprises struggle to build the right technical and information architectures. Microsoft has published guidance and made resources available to address this issue, but the breadth of MOSS 2007’s capabilities and the sometimes inflated expectations of sponsors can lead to deployment and governance concerns.
