2009: Digital Asset Management and CMIS

9. Digital asset management use could expand

Gartner released a report at the end of last year that bodes well for DAM vendors. It predicted that as more companies generate and store increasing amounts of video content, they will need to purchase a digital asset management system to manage this specialized type of content. Based on this report, it would seem safe to say that we will begin to see an upturn in DAM use inside the enterprise in 2009.

10. CMIS will continue to percolate

One of the big stories of 2008 was the emergence of CMIS, a proposed standard that would allow customers to share content across different content repositories regardless of the vendor. Look for CMIS to continue to bake in 2009 (and maybe even get approved). There are a lot of important vendors behind this and I don't think it's going to get bogged down in the approval process, as some standards have been in the past. More vendors will also incorporate CMIS into products even before it's approved in the coming year.
