Working with the people that create the software company Blogtronix is hard and yet very satisfying work. The real challenge comes from what is not available today, but what will people WANT in the future. What is happening today? How will it effect what the enterprise wants tomorrow? At our weekly technologist meetings that we have fondly labeled Vassko Summit, we ask and address these questions for the betterment of our software solutions.
I recall a Vassko Summit nearly two years ago where the topic was corporate documents and what approach should we take? We obviously knew that in order to be a complete social engagement solution, that document collaboration needed to be addressed. Isn't all company content fair game? Our answer to this solution was to provide a document management system built into our Blogtronix Ozone Enterprise Solution.
To my very pleasant surprise this morning I found this article come across one of my RSS technology feeds: http://www.informationweek.com/news/business_intelligence/content_management/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=221200009&cid=IW_nl_week_2009-11-02_t
What is the key takeaway from this article? I have included the quote below that stuck out like a sore thumb! Maybe I should have titled this article Blogtronix closes the market gap? We are OPEN to your suggestions and would like to hear what you are thinking. That is what social networking is all about!
"Documentum, Open Text (NSDQ: OTEX), FileNet--they don't handle blogs and wikis very well," says Mike Gotta, principal analyst at the Burton Group. "And you have social business software vendors that wish they didn't have to do document management. We're in a classic market gap."
