The hidden costs of eCTD transition.....
August 15, 2008
Sometimes a lead paragraph is too good not to borrow. Check this one out:
"It's been six months since the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) division of FDA started requiring all electronic submissions to use the electronic common technical document (eCTD) format, and all is not well."
That's the take of Virginia Ventura of the FDA according to Bio-IT World. It's to be expected - I think. The technology used to produce eCTD's is new, the compilation and presentation procedures are new too. Anytime a whole lot of people have to change what they do at the same time, problems are a given. 
What's the cost of failure? Post continued...

An ECM Standard - He Who Shouts First Rules ?
August 11, 2008
Last October UK based The Content Group announced that it will be working on a "Publicly Available Specification" (PAS) for ECM. What readers may want to note is that according to Wikipedia, "The PAS requires less consensus-building than an ISO, European or British Standard and offers the sponsor more control over how the content is developed."
While some in the press speculated that the 2007 announcement was just a way for The Content Group to gain publicity for a moment, even if they're correct, that moment hasn't passed. An August 7, 2008 CMS Wire Press Release states that The Content Group is working with British Standards Institute (BSI), the UK's National Standards Body, and partnering with Alan Pelz-Sharpe, a principal with CMS Watch, and Bharat Mistry of Bloor Research. to continue the effort.

No matter how you parse it- It's a free agent nation
July 17, 2008
Documentum blogger Pie wrote a post entitled Documentum and ECM:A Career or a Job?, which I found rather interesting. If he had written his entry in the 1970's, (when few, if any, of us were part of the workforce) I might have been in full agreement; but the world has changed quite a bit since then. The days when a single employer has a life-long or, even long-term, career to offer an individual are gone, gone, gone.... 
Why? Because the nature of business has changed. Employee payrolls are the major expense in a service economy and guess what happens when revenues fall? Jobs get cut in order to preserve a healthy bottom line. CEO's have to report to their shareholders.

CIA uses enterprise 2.0 to get the scoop
July 7, 2008
While many companies are cautiously waiting before integrating Enterprise 2.0 technologies with their most important content, guess who's already there? The 
CIA of all places. It's not quite the organization that comes to mind when I think of Information Technology trailblazers. And I certainly didn't expect to learn about it on the Cranky Geeks podcast, but that's where I got an inkling of the news.

Those who don't ask, don't wait
June 22, 2008
Much has been written about Enterprise 2.0 (also known as enterprise social software) in the ECM space, vendors like IBM, Opentext, Microsoft, and Alfresco already have products on the market; EMC will release Magellan soon (interested parties can apply to participate in the beta now.) And while this is exciting news to many of us in the ECM space, the cadre millennial workers may be less impressed. After all, they probably haven't been sitting around waiting.
In case you're unfamiliar with their characteristics, I've written about the generation in the NY Post. In IT land, millennials are being called digital natives because they were born into a web-enabled world. Tech Republic's Jason Hiner says that they behave differently from those who came before them. They will: Post continued...
