Enterprise Cms News & Articles

While Laserfiche’s v8.3 release in late November added a bunch of new functions, analytics wasn’t one of them. This week, it has announced that Datawatch has joined its Professional Developer Program (PDP), which will add analytics functionality to the November enhancements.

Socialtext has been adding and adding to its enterprise social platform since it launched v5.0 in September. This year it looks set to maintain that momentum and has already announced a partnership with NetDocuments.

Seems like GRC companies are still only recovering from LegalTech NY this week, as it’s been relatively quiet. That said, SAI has finalized the Compliance 360 deal, Ricoh is expanding its e-Discovery reach again, Congress is taking on spyware and Guidance has bought CaseCentral.

Organizations and enterprises that bank on Amazon S3 services for their cloud storage needs might find themselves paying up to 13.5% less starting this February, as Amazon announces price cuts for S3, promising a "significant reduction" in storage costs.

Choosing an Enterprise Content Management platform is no easy task for today’s CIO, according to Mike Davis, senior analyst at Ovum and author of the company’s report “Decision Matrix: Selecting a Content Management Platform Vendor."

This week, Alfresco released Enterprise 4, KnowledgeTree added new functionality to help users organize documents, Box and Smartsheet integrate, IBM’s SPSS Data Collection gets document capture and there’s talk of LibreOffice going mobile.

We said earlier in the week that we couldn’t talk about Alfresco 4 until today. Well, it’s today now and we can talk a little bit about this latest release, although only a little bit because it really is enormous. With it, Alfresco pushes its open content management platform firmly into the mobile and social space.

Taking a page from Dropbox and other document sharing services, Liferay announced today a new document sharing add-on for the community edition of its enterprise portal. The add-on, Liferay Sync, allows users to access documents stored in Liferay from their desktop or mobile device.

This week in GRC was always going to be about LegalTech and everything that came out of it. Well, it's finishing up today, and it didn’t disappoint. There were releases from Autonomy, Recommind, Digital Reef and a whole lot more.

eXo has released the latest version of its open source portal, eXo 3.5. The release has lots of new features, but the big news may be the portal’s journey to the cloud.

Interact Intranet wants to make sure enterprise social networks are used to the fullest, with users not missing a beat when it comes to online interactions, conversations and relevant updates. The release of version 5.0 of Interact's popular on-premise and SaaS Intranet solution introduces user-centric features designed to make interaction more convenient for users.

If anyone was wondering what Autonomy was going to do after getting the check for US$ 12 billion, then the upgrade to its e-Discovery software is a good indicator: It appears to be carrying on business as usual, even if it is now branded as a HP company.

In the document management space this week, Alfresco announced that later in the week it will be releasing Enterprise 4, Microsoft announced the public beta of Office 15 for the summer, Colligo got legal at LegalTech, Rioch bought HSSK and M-Files can now be used on mobile devices.

As we enter day two of LegalTech New York 2012, legal professionals are getting hands-on practical information for improving their law practice management, thanks in part to vendors that are using the conference as an opportunity to launch new products.
