These core capabilities are also fundamental to the emerging content platform market, whereby both established and new vendors offer modern, cloud-friendly repositories that serve as the foundation for mobile-enabled content applications."
The Forrester Wave™ evaluation is used to "assess the state of the ECM for business content services market and see how the vendors stack up against each other."
