When Gartner came out with its Magic Quadrant for Enterprise File Sync and Share (EFSS) back in July 2014 I laughed a little because I find the idea of an EFSS market, well, laughable. Yes, I know they put in a whole bunch of stuff about what could or should be part of the market, but… read more >
I wanted to try something a little different for this post. I’m doing an assessment of what went wrong with Alfresco for a Canadian university. They purchased Alfresco back in 2008/09, initially to handle some of their web content needs. Things haven’t gone so well. Below is a quick wrap up email I sent to the project… read more >
On September 18, the Information Governance Initiative hosted a twitter chat to discuss their 1st annual report. At some point in the chat I referred to myself as using Guerilla tactics to apply Information Governance practices in client projects. Question 3 of the chat was “Do you have any active InfoGov projects under way at… read more >
I attended BoxWorks2014 in San Francisco, from September 2nd to 4th. It was fun. It was great to reconnect with some folks I hadn’t seen in a while, and to meet some people face-to-face for the first time. This paragraph feels like one of those “what I did during summer vacation” essays. You may be… read more >
Over the last few weeks some pretty bright minds have been talking / writing about what Information Governance (IG) is and isn’t. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the restraint to stay out of it. To get some of the background of what’s been going on, read a few posts from these guys (I don’t always agree… read more >
By accident or by design, I’ve managed to steer clear of MS SharePoint (SP) centric Enterprise Content Management (ECM) deployments until a few weeks ago. However, even though I’ve only been on the periphery of SP, I’ve never been of the opinion that all the SP implementations that have gone wrong were really the fault… read more >
If I were to start an enterprise software company today, I’d give the licenses away. No, I am not thinking about open source at all. I’m thinking about services, non-core functionality, and integration. I’ll stick to Enterprise Content Management software, but the principles are applicable to any enterprise grade platforms or suites (we can debate… read more >
On March 20th of this year I wrote my first blog post as a member of Digital Clarity Group. In that post I mentioned the Principles of Holistic Information Governance (PHIGs) and how Information Governance and Customer Experience Management are inextricably linked. This post serves as an introduction to the PHIGs. In subsequent posts and… read more >
Warning: I sometimes often like to use anecdotes from my experiences to illustrate my points. Note: E-discovery refers to the tools and practices used to automate the review of electronic content for relevance in legal proceedings. This overly simplified definition will be relevant later in this post. Knowledge Management is defined as [insert your definition… read more >
Other than as a customer, I’m pretty new to the Customer Experience Management space. I did write a blog post about it some time ago, so I kinda, sorta, almost know what I’m talking about; feel free to read it if you wish. What I do have some mileage in is Information Management and Governance… read more >
