. Oracle ranks as Leader in all content technology segments

Forrester Wave ranks Oracle as Leader in all content technology segments in their 2011 Q4 report.

However Forrester said "Oracle’s main weaknesses lie in its archiving and compound document publishing capabilities".

I think all of us agreed with that, where

• Oracle Document Capture needs a lot of improvements (for example index forms design, and localization).
• I am wondering why they offer IPM, we can do the same thing with UCM interface. 
• Also Ad-Hoc scanning (scanning from Checkin page) is a big requirement that all customers I worked with are asking for.

Here is the link to the report http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/analystreports/infrastructure/forrester-wave-ecm-q4-2011-1352096.pdf

Guys did hear about "ECM Maturity Model"

As the post title asks "Did you hear about ECM Maturity Model?"

If you are not, go and visit it, and download this document. It is great job, but what I liked is page number 12 and the matrix there. I didn't use it in a project but I imagine it will be helpful for me as a consultant working in a project where using it I can assess how much maturity we reached in that project.

However, the website and the document lacks a lot of information, may misguide some people. Also I saw the same things discussed there before, like for example in Bex's last book "", but really I like their remarkable maturity matrix.

Anyway it's nice work and I advice by taking a look on it.

Avoid ExtranetLook Component

The first time I used ExtranetLook component, I liked it, because of the log-in screen, and log-out functionality. But later I discovered that this component is not compatible with other UCM components, as an example this component sometimes you will not be allowed you to log-into the Content Server using Site Studio designer, another example you will not be able to index scanned into the content server using Dynamic Converter.

I don't know why Oracle is releasing that component, and in general why they are releasing incomplete components???

I recommend anyone to not use ExtranetLook component.
