The Cloud: No Panacea for Enterprise Content Management…Yet
Jed Cawthorne (@jedpc): There is a lot of hype around 'cloud computing' and this month's theme at CMSWire is all things cloud, so maybe we will be able to figure out whether those clouds are stormy, rain filled, or basically sat at each end of a rainbow (with the associated pot of gold, of course…).
Cloud Content Management Is Agile's Disruption of Dinosaur Enterprise CM
Billy Cripe (@billycripe) There is an evolution happening in the world of content management. The giant platform systems that have worked to consolidate every functional permutation into one program are simply too big. They have so much computational flexibility and capability that they have become unwieldy. After all, massive flexibility is not the goal. Machine code and a compiler are the most flexible options open to computer users. But nobody in their right mind wants to build a business solution that way. The result is legacy ECM dinosaurs that offer the convenience of a “buy” solution but force customers into a build situation. It is the worst kind of bait and switch. Waves of startups and cloud ECM firms are taking advantage of dissatisfaction and disrupting the dinosaurs.

Their reaction, according to the Forrester article, however, is so flaccid that it's clear to me that many of them will fall into what I categorized as "dead men walking" rather than the "walking dead."
In the Post-PC World, the Cloud Is the New PC
David Hillis (@davidhillis): When Steve Jobs proclaimed that the post-PC era had arrived, most people assumed it was the mobile phone that was the cause of this transition. Yet, alongside the mobile phone, the heir apparent in the post-PC world is the cloud. Mobile is expanding the cloud, and the relationship between mobile devices and cloud computing is changing everything, from how consumers manage their information to how developers build and manage applications on the Internet.
There are a few key mobile trends that are contributing to rapid growth in cloud computing.
