They better hurry .... plus they haven't done a very good job of what they
have.

Let's not forget also that Microsoft has tended to work on integrating
its other apps with an EDRMS rather than developing its own stand alone
system.

However, being Microsoft I wouldn't be surprised if it waits until the
market has suitably converged and then buy the biggest remaining player!

Jesse:  I would say that Microsoft has Sharepoint (or at least they see
it
as an ECM), and SAP has IXOS.  Near as I know, only Sun doesn't have
anything.

In case you hadn't seen this, HP has agreed to acquire Tower Software
for
undisclosed terms. This leaves three major standalone ECM vendors:

Open Text

Vignette

Interwoven

 

And three major infrastructure players lacking a major ECM play:

Microsoft

Sun

SAP

 

Other possible suitors might include CA, Dell, Autonomy, or Symantec. 

 

It will be interesting to see how this shakes out with the other players
over the next 12-18 months.
