Executive Summary An enterprise content management (ECM) solution is fast becoming an essential fixture at large enterprises around the globe. Frost & Sullivan defines ECM as a large-scale, multi-functional, crossplatform, content management system that is designed to address the structured and unstructured content management needs of organizations large and small. An ECM solution enables companies to store and manage data effectively, cut costs, enhance productivity, derive business intelligence, and create efficiencies across the enterprise. Over the past few years, there has been an exponential growth in content across enterprises worldwide, particularly unstructured content in the form of audio, video, email, social media content, etc. As enterprises spread out geographically, there has been a growing emphasis on workflow collaboration and information sharing in order to maintain competitive edge. The role of an ECM solution in easing these critical enterprise problems has and will continue to drive solution sales. Several enterprises earlier resorted to building home-grown content management systems; however, over time, these systems have proven cumbersome to maintain, and such companies are now acquiring purpose-built, vendor-supported ECM solutions. 4
Executive Summary (continued) Though ECM has traditionally been an on-premises solution, hybrid and cloud deployments have become exceedingly popular thanks to the flexibility offered by such solutions. These factors result in a fast growing and dynamic marketplace for ECM solutions. Austerity measures in some regions impact overall enterprise IT spend. As a result, customers are price sensitive in some regions and verticals. Departmental purchases are common in this market, and companies with an overarching enterprise-wide content management strategy are few and far in between. From a competitive landscape perspective, there are several vendors offering best-of-breed point solutions as well as end-to-end ECM platforms. Establishing and communicating competitive differentiation to the customer is a challenge in this market lengthening sales cycles. However, overall the ECM market is set to grow and double in revenues by the end of the forecast period in 2020. North America and Latin America (NALA) combined is the largest and fastest growing region for ECM solutions. Slow economic growth in several European markets dampens demand but bright spots in the region (e.g., UK, Germany and Ireland) sees an increase in uptake of ECM solutions. 5
Executive Summary (continued) The ECM value proposition has hit home in energy, healthcare, and insurance verticals in the Middle East resulting in growing adoption within enterprises in the region. Asia-Pacific is a diverse market, and purchasing patterns in Japan and Australia for example are different from those in China or India. ECM solutions are popular in industry verticals that operate in strict regulatory environments wherein security and compliance are key requirements. A large part of global ECM market revenues can be attributed to the sale of solutions into Healthcare, Financial Services, Government, and Manufacturing verticals. 2013 saw OpenText continue to be the largest ECM vendor by revenue. EMC, IBM, HP, and Oracle are other key participants in this market. Other notable participants include Perceptive Software, Hyland Software, Alfresco, EverTeam in the EMEA region, and Newgen in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. Several enterprises have already made investments in traditional content management solutions. Therefore, close to of the market revenue comes from the renewal and maintenance of existing ECM systems. Vendors use a combination of direct sales and channel partners to reach customers. This varies by region and vertical. Overall, the ECM market is a vibrant one that will exhibit steady growth over the forecast period. 6

Executive Summary CEO s Perspective 1 2 3 4 5 Security and compliance is a major driver in solution sales, especially in highly regulated industries. Vendors that have a strong vertical focus and develop particular expertise fare well in this market. The value proposition of cloud solutions, especially for collaboration use cases, is very strong. Vendors that position themselves to capitalize on this trend will reap rich dividends. Managing the mess of unstructured content types will continue to be important given device proliferation and the popularity of BYOD and remote working. Though ECM has proven to be a tool that aids cost savings, when married to Big Data analytics, opportunities exist to empower revenue generation as well. Market fragmentation is a key challenge in this market, and comparing apples to apples is difficult for the customer. Customer education and messaging requires attention. 9
