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...
- 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.
- The mim:switch Obtree/Livelink WCM migration software will be a key tool in some of these migrations.
- With the credit crunch and the opportunity for n Obtree replacement reference there will be some great deals for the early adopters.
- 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.
- 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.
- Inevitably some vendors (and some service providers) will go under.
- Mimtech will provide Livelink WCM migration services to partners in Switzerland and Germany.
- More outsourcing of the application layer management. This is probably the stage between the internally managed system and the SaaS model.
- New staff will join the Mimtech team.
- Ken and Ross will finally accept the inevitable.
I would be interested to hear what others think about the year ahead.

We saved hundreds of man hours by using the Mim:switch migration tool. Mimtech were always responsive, flexible and professional in getting the job done.
