I’ll be taking a bit of vacation over the next two weeks, so I thought I would take the opportunity of highlighting a few books on my Summer reading list. One of the good things about using a Kindle or Kindle on an iPAD for reading is the ability to use highlights to create a running summary of a book’s highlights. Even better is that these highlights are aggregated across ALL readers. So in effect, any book can have a built in summary, generated by the wisdom of the crowds. Pretty cool stuff. So in my vacation posts I’ll highlight a few books I’ve enjoyed recently, and some Kindle-generated excerpts to give you a snapshot of the contents.

Enterprise content management is already composed of a complex, broad set of ideas and technologies – over the next 5 years, a convergence of trends across multiple software categories will have a massive impact on this space. This list is by no means exhaustive, as vendors will also need to deal with evolving challenges around security, retention, workflow, capture, and other aspects of ECM, but the following eight trends will fundamentally change how we build and deploy content management solutions: 8 Major Trends That Will Change ECM in the Coming Years 1 — Cloud, Cloud, Cloud. We’re at the beginning of a shift from on-premise solutions to cloud-based platforms, thanks to the cost efficiencies and shorter deployment times that come with delivering content management over the web. But the cloud is much more than just a new form of delivery; merely moving today’s enterprise content management systems to a hosted environment will only achieve incremental benefits.
