About ECM Briefs

ECM Briefs are short, timely news items from around the world of enterprise content management. The Open Text communications team pulls together reports from events, news about customers, partners and new products, ECM industry trends and other topics. While much of the content is related to Open Text solutions, we strive to provide a broader industry perspective, as well.

Who should read ECM Briefs? Our goal is to be an information source about ECM software and applications. We encourage anyone interested in staying abreast of the latest developments in ECM to subscribe to our feed. From customers to bloggers, podcasters and even journalists, we hope you'll find something of interest.

Please note that our policy is to review trackbacks until the author has approved them.
