A few days ago, John Mancini, president of the Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM), posted a rather loaded discussion question on the AIIM Linked-In group. The question was “How will SharePoint 2010 effect the existing ECM players?”. It quickly generated responses from a broad spectrum of people, many of whom are either employed by or do consulting for some of the traditional ECM vendors and their products.
What I found most interesting is the amount of misinformation that still exists around the core capabilities of the SharePoint platform, as well as the wide variety of perspectives on how SharePoint fits into the ECM space. Most of the respondents seem to be having trouble wrapping their heads around the sheer scope of SharePoint the “platform”. It will be interesting to see how things develop over the coming year.

Hi John,
I was directed to you regarding your SP 2007 document management book. I am currently planning for an EDRMS to be based off of SP 2010 and was wondering if you were planning to publish a follow up to the 2007 book, and if so when. Thanks in advance, feel free to email me.
Hi John,
I’m currently discussing this with my publisher, but we have no firm dates as yet. I am planning a series of blog posts that highlight the new 2010 RM features. BTW, I would be interested in any specific questions or issues you encounter as you go through the planning process.
