2006: The Year of EDM
A new report from Boston-based Aite Group, "Crossing the Data Management Chasm," predicts that 2006 will be the year during which early adopters of enterprise data management (EDM) systems will go live with their systems and, pending a successful implementation, also will become client references for industry vendors.
In the overview of EDM vendors, Aite Group also predicts a considerable subsequent increase in data management spending. Current U.S. spending of $1.1 billion is expected to top $2 billion by 2009, rising steadily at a compound annual growth rate of 15 percent. <<<
