Open Source
The cost, complexity and lack of portal integration of traditional ECM systems prevent them being rolled out
to the enterprise successfully. End users turn to the shared drive for simplicity. This causes content to go
uncontrolled, unaudited and undiscovered.
“Open Source changes the whole cost profile of Enterprise Content Management”
Patsy Drake, IT Director, Reed Managed Services plc.
“Blaine calculated that he'd need a document management system that could handle 1.2 terabytes
of customer data a year. Since many of the documents needed to be held for compliance reasons for seven years, he'd
need at least a 10-terabyte system”
Myron Blaine, System Architect, Boise Cascade, InformationWeek, April 2006
