Content Management Matters ™

Forrester Research says that the North American eDiscovery market will grow to almost $4.89 billion by 2011. That's a massive increase over 2006 when it was $1.45 billion. So why wouldn't ECM vendors want a piece of that pie?

Interwoven had decided to get its piece of the eDiscovery pie through the acquisition of on-demand e-discovery provider Discovery Mining Inc.

HP has taken a dip into the acquisitions market with its recent purchase of Tower Software, an Australian Enterprise Content Management Provider. But they don’t call it an ECM acquisition – rather it’s a deal that will help HP expand its reach into the ediscovery and compliance software market.

In response to the twin concerns of business process efficiency and business records compliance, HP is teaming up with Vignette to deliver what they are calling the most complete Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) solution available today.
