Predictions for 2009
December 24, 2008 13:53 by Simon

I feel obliged to do this as Doug told me that I am obliged to do this. So, here are some predictions for 2009 for Mimtech...

  • We will see more of our clients migrate from the Obtree/Livelink WCM during 2009. The Talk Obtree forum is back up and running. Please get involved.
  • The mim:switch Obtree/Livelink WCM migration software will be a key tool in some of these migrations.
  • With the credit crunch and the opportunity for n Obtree replacement reference there will be some great deals for the early adopters.
  • SaaS WCM will be a serious consideration for any WCM replacement project as the economic downturn drives a move to hosted software. Buyers will (are already) expecting far more value added to their services than a simple hosted WCM.
  • As the value of companies drops we will see some acquisitions in the WCM space. Some analysts are predicting that ECM vendors will look to bolster their web layer but I think we'll see some consolidation in the WCM market too.
  • Inevitably some vendors (and some service providers) will go under.
  • Mimtech will provide Livelink WCM migration services to partners in Switzerland and Germany.
  • More outsourcing of the application layer management. This is probably the stage between the internally managed system and the SaaS model.
  • New staff will join the Mimtech team.
  • Ken and Ross will finally accept the inevitable.
I would be interested to hear what others think about the year ahead.
