http://www.reportlinker.com/p0843544/Global-Enterprise-Content-Management-Market.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Knowledge_Management
The enterprise content management (ECM) market has never been more dynamic than now. With a recharged value proposition and demonstrable value for an ever-widening cadre of enterprise customers, ECM has come into its own. Often sold as an organizational platform upon which content management capabilities can be built, ECM shows rapid ROI, increased efficiencies, innovation, and active integration of larger market trends. This study analyzes the ECM marketplace, the trends and innovations that are driving product development and market growth, the market drivers and restraints, as well as the revenue, unit, and regional growth projections.
Executive Summary
Market Summary
The enterprise content management (ECM) market is witnessing continued upward growth, with gradually increasing market revenue anticipated in the current year and over the next few years. Frost & Sullivan defines an ECM as a large-scale, multi-functional, cross-platform content management system (CMS), designed to address the complex content management needs of enterprise-level organizations. Today's ECM solutions are structural platforms meant to enable and deliver content efficiencies on a wide scale and with the express intent of energizing digital content assets throughout their life cycles. An ECM platform helps companies create a uniform communications layer or a reference architecture layer designed to facilitate cross-platform interoperability, data sharing, and anytime, anywhere secure access to critical company information and content. Many ECM solutions allow for real-time collaboration, massive customization, and content management schemes that empower knowledge workers on a global scale. This study is Frost & Sullivan's third analysis of the ECM market in the last four years. In this dynamic market characterized as competitive, competent, and innovative, ECM vendors have found their message, a compelling ECM value proposition, and an expanding addressable market.
Frost & Sullivan expects that recent technology developments, overall digital media trends, and an increasingly diverse set of capabilities bode well for the CMS marketplace. A broadening marketplace, increasing demand for the efficiencies of digitization and performance accountability, increasing global uptake, and a focus on providing the functionality that customers demand bodes particularly well for the ECM market. In this study, Frost & Sullivan discusses the evolving definition of an ECM solution, the widening customer base, and the vibrant vendor landscape. We dive deep into why companies should consider and acquire ECM solutions as opposed to less-robust content management systems and provide real-world examples of how deployed ECM solutions are helping enable enterprises to optimally manage their content, user accounts, and processes, consequently gaining a competitive market advantage. This study includes an analysis of market growth drivers and restraints, larger digital media, CMS trends and their anticipated effect on the ECM marketplace, as well as individual market vertical revenue trends. This study also includes an analysis of market sizing, revenue forecasts, and vendor market shares. We anticipate that the overall global ECM revenue will add up to $2,750 million in 2011, and reach $7,919.5 million by 2017, the end of the forecast period. Pricing, distribution, and unit projections are also discussed herein.
Sixteen independent ECM vendors are discussed in this analysis, including the top five revenue earners in 2011 - OpenText, EMC, Oracle, IBM, and HP (Autonomy). Overall, the top five vendors accounted for more than 80 percent of market revenue in 2011. That said, innovations and creative solutions are being provided throughout the industry, which is at a stage of fairly rapid growth. If it weren't for the continued economic insecurity in Europe and elsewhere, the growth is this market would probably be higher. Frost & Sullivan has observed that as the industry has rallied around ECM as a productivity architecture and solution, the market is embracing ECM more assertively than before, and growth trends look very positive.
