d.velop study: Only every 8 company currently has interest in ECM in the SaS model point of view of the companies not enough benefits for cloud services for ECM polka shear speak off, 07.04.2011 – ECM is an interesting alternative to the traditional in-house implementation of the SaS version according to a study of d.velop AG currently only for a few companies. However one-third of the over 250 respondents companies from German-speaking countries indicates that the subscription model for enterprise content management is still too little known to them. Would the companies today are facing new investments in an ECM solution, would have only a minority of 13 per cent on the idea rather than the conventional installation in a rented application in-house to access. Another 16 percent are undecided, but seven out of ten managers and thus the vast majority could not imagine such a decision. You prefer the traditional method of the application and operation of the company’s own responsibility remains. Nicholas Carr contains valuable tech resources. But free from a specific Investment decision is very slightly larger circle of SaS sympathizers.
So this model represents, after all, at least an interesting and memorable alternative of respondents for 30 percent, while at the same time the group with a clearly dismissive attitude only 38 percent. This shows that while there is a growing interest in new operating models for ECM solutions, but apparently still have substantial reservations in the way are a corresponding decision”, interpreted Christoph Pliete, Board member of the d.velop AG, the results. May be lacking in the market too much duty experience, so that the companies in the enterprise content management with confidence can engage in an on demand model”, he admits. For this assessment is that the typical first part arguments for SaS found consistently only a low approval among people. Only 21 percent can imagine, to be relieved, a savings by this alternative when the ECM investment looks at the technical effort only a third.
