This week Nuxeo announced the release of Nuxeo Case Management Framework (Nuxeo CMF). Case Management is a hot topic these days. Several of the large ECM vendors have announced Case Management products or strategies over the last few months. But this is not a “me-too” announcement from Nuxeo. The Nuxeo approach to the ECM market is clear: we provide a technically advanced enterprise content management platform that lets customers and partners build content applications to meet their specific needs. Nuxeo CMF is an enhanced distribution of this underlying platform – what we call Nuxeo EP. Other Nuxeo packaged applications -…

This line came to me a few weeks ago prepping for some conference and webinar presentations… and the more I think about it and talk it over with others, the more I think it accurately describes the ECM landscape today. The fundamental divide among ECM vendors as I see it today is between vendors who position their offering as a “Suite” and vendors who built their offering as a “Platform”. Platforms Nuxeo is clearly in the “Platform” category. An ECM platform is a cohesive, end to end offering architected and built by a core team with a common vision (vendor…

A cool city…. a cool venue…. customers and partners that are pushing the envelope of how organizations are using open source ECM in the real world… What’s not to get excited about? As we get closer to November, we’ll be stepping up our communication plans – more sneak peeks into the program, interviews with Nuxeo staff, customers and Galaxy Partners. New videos, podcasts, interviews and program highlights will be published every couple of weeks. Just because summer is coming doesn’t mean our Nuxeo World planning team is taking a break. Check out the first two interviews with customers Jean-Marc Orliaguet…

Silo-bashing is alive and well in both the ECM and Enterprise 2.0 spheres. Some great thinkers in content management are putting some well deserved boots to organizational and technological barriers to collaboration. But… I grew up on the Prairies. Silos were good things, not bad things. Been thinking about this topic a lot since my presentation at Gilbane San Francisco last month… trying to put my finger on what has started to bug me about this renewed silo-bashing movement. What was the original purpose of a silo? It was to preserve and protect valuable goods – grains, food, even fuel….

We learned last week that our Nuxeo Galaxy Partner program had made TheVARGuy.com Open Source 50 list. Not only the Top 50, but the Top 25… a pretty cool feat considering it was the first year that we even qualified for the survey. A big thanks not only to the Nuxeo Galaxy Systems Integrators and Application Builders that helped shape the Galaxy program as it stands today, but our Nuxeo customers for engaging with our partners and working with them to deploy some of the most interesting and innovative content management applications out there. But we’re not done yet… what…
