I found this article in eWeek really interesting:
Midmarket Digital Asset Management Firms Disappearing
Companies are drowning in content they generate, usually with no way to organize it. Furthermore, as the article states, there is less and less support for SMBs, who can’t spend a fortune on software. Normally new firms would enter the market and provide solutions for such needs – but the problem is that demand for such tools is low, because few businesses realize the need for such solutions until its too late.
What is the solution? Opensource? That usually requires a lot of expertiese in running & customizing, and few SMBs can dedicate the resources required. Outsourcing? The price tag might be even higher than the enterprise tools…
We’ll have to see.
