Predictions for 2009

24 December 2008 by Simon Mone

I feel obliged to do this as Doug told me that I am obliged to do this. So, here are some predictions for 2009 for Mimtech...

  1. We will see more of our clients migrate from the Obtree/Livelink WCM  during 2009. The Talk Obtree forum is back up and running. Please get involved.
  2. The mim:switch Obtree/Livelink WCM migration software will be a key tool in some of these migrations.
  3. With the credit crunch and the opportunity for n Obtree replacement reference there will be some great deals for the early adopters.
  4. SaaS WCM will be a serious consideration for any WCM replacement project as the economic downturn drives a move to hosted software. Buyers will (are already) expecting far more value added to their services than a simple hosted WCM.
  5. As the value of companies drops we will see some acquisitions in the WCM space. Some analysts are predicting that ECM vendors will look to bolster their web layer but I think we'll see some consolidation in the WCM market too.
  6. Inevitably some vendors (and some service providers) will go under.
  7. Mimtech will provide Livelink WCM migration services to partners in Switzerland and Germany.
  8. More outsourcing of the application layer management. This is probably the stage between the internally managed system and the SaaS model.
  9. New staff will join the Mimtech team.
  10. Ken and Ross will finally accept the inevitable.

I would be interested to hear what others think about the year ahead.

The Kreg Jig Pocket Hole System (K4) is the perfect choice for do-it-yourselfers and anyone new to Kreg Joinery. Whether you're building your first set of garage storage shelves or making simple repairs around the house, the Kreg Jig Pocket Hole System can help you finish the job in less time, and with far less effort than you ever thought possible.
