Gartner: MarketScope for WCM

Gartner Said, "The WCM market commands revenue of approximately $750 million. With an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15% between 2007 and 2012, it is growing faster than the overall ECM market."


You can see Oracle has been evaluated positive, and in the report MarketScope for Web Content Management, Oracle has been recommended for shortlisting with the leading best-of-breed equivalents.

Also, Gartner Said, "The trend for increased outlay on WCM is strongest in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia/Pacific."

As we know WCM is part of ECM market, and as I am Oracle UCM developer, I like WCM module (Site Studio). But in middle east sales are focusing on other ECM solutions and especially Document Management, and I wish they can focus on selling WCM solutions which is very valuable for big organizations.

ECM spending Cuts; God help Us!

According to ChangeWave Research Report ECM market will face great cuts in spending.

I think Gulf region will not face that problems, but in other places in Middle East atproblem will apply, like in my country Egypt, because when companies think in savements and limiting their budges, IT department will be the first one affected.

I ask myself why people didn't think in ROI, where most solutions will improve companies quality and employees efficiency.
