XML Content Crossing Into the Mainstream
CMS Watch finds XML/CCM technology buyers require new strategies
Boston, MA and New York, NY (PRWEB) April 10, 2009 -- Component Content Management (CCM) technology, (which allows enterprises to manage text content as componentized chunks of information rather than documents or web pages), has till recently been the domain of a wide collection of small niched software vendors, now ECM vendors along with large digital publishing companies are starting to take control of the space, potentially bringing XML to the masses.
"Component content management has traditionally been the purview of the technical industry, but increasingly organizations are adopting DITA and CCM to create sales and marketing, policies and procedures, and regulatory material," notes Ann Rockley, lead analyst for The XML & Component Content Management Report 2009.
The report found:
- IBM is building a strategic presence witnessed by its recent integration of DITA with IBM FileNet Content Manager in partnership with Quark XML Author
- Microsoft has signaled an interest in the space with the promotion of Intelligent Content Framework
- Open Source options are now available through Alfresco via DocZone and Componize
- Adobe and Quark have moved publishing from technical XSL-FO (XML formatting language) to high end digital media delivery
- EMC and Mark Logic have taken content retrieval to new levels with intelligent XQuery and dynamic delivery
"The involvement of enterprise focused vendors is bringing about a profound change, and buyers of XML/CCM technology will need to review their own strategies accordingly," said CMS Watch Principal Analyst Alan Pelz-Sharpe.
These findings were released with The XML & Component Content Management Report 2009. This edition of the report adds nine new vendors that includes 12 major CCM suppliers, six prominent XML Editor tools, and seven key publishing tools. Based on extensive technology research and interviews with customers across a range of industry sectors, this report brings together a comprehensive overview of a growing and dynamic industry sector. The 366-page report also documents industry best practices, current trends in component content management, and common pitfalls to avoid when selecting and implementing a CCM system.
