Marqui, Inc. announced it has added a corporate blogging module to its Web-based suite for marketers. Marqui designed its blog module specifically for business users, adding features such as enhanced trackback management, approval-based workflow and a flexible architecture that allows for reader surveys. The blog module is an extension of Marquis Web-based software suite, which helps organizations simplify and automate a wide range of marketing communications initiatives, such as e-mail campaigns, newsletters, Web sites, RSS and more. With Marqui, businesses get browser-based access to one application that provides content management, business process management, subscriber e-mail campaign management, and measurement capabilities. Marqui’s suite is based on the software-as-a-service model. The module features approval-based workflow, which means companies can exercise some control over the information that gets published to the corporate blog, so companies concerned about disclosure or regulatory compliance can involve communications or legal professionals in the approval process. Marqui delivers comment moderation, and enables companies to manage trackback spam. Users have the option to approve trackbacks before they are posted to the site. Organizations also have the option to invite blog readers to do more than just fill out a simple comment box. For example, companies can easily customize the commenting system to solicit feedback on specific questions or conduct brief surveys to help with market research. This includes adding Technorati tags or even integrations with FeedBurner. Marqui’s blogging module is available immediately and can be purchased as a stand-alone solution or bundled with the rest of the Marqui suite. Subscriptions start at $2,500/year (USD). http://www.marqui.com

Information Week has published some research on Enterprise Content Management (ECM) spending, and the numbers are impressive indeed. 186 business-technology professionals were asked to comment on spending trends in ECM, and 45% said ECM-related spending will increase over 2004 and 24% said it would be equal to 2004. Only 16% said spending would be lower than 2004, with the remaining 15% saying they did not know.
Moreover, nearly one-third of surveyed companies said they will spend more than $500,000 on content management technology and services this year.
Not surprisingly, compliance seems to be the driving factor.
More than half (52%) of respondents say that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has led them to adopt enterprise content management. The law, which requires companies to document and test internal controls over financial reporting, has challenged companies to move beyond spreadsheets toward building dedicated repositories for collecting information on internal processes… Electronic-records-retention laws also were cited by 52% of respondents as driving adoption of enterprise-content-management systems, followed by intellectual-property and copyright protection (48%), customer privacy (36%), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (32%).
While we don’t do market research, these numbers certainly reflect what we have been hearing and seeing in the marketplace. Organizations are actively looking at and buying ECM solutions, and the focus is often on document management, records management, and compliance. At the same time, we see a lot of activity outside of compliance-driven applications, such as in product support applications where globalization and enhanced customer experiences seem to be driving the work.
Liaison Technologies announced the release of Liaison Enterprise Content Director 5.0. Major enhancements in version 5.0 include support for role-based display preferences, dynamic linking to nested repositories, Ontology data-type overrides and enhanced image and binary content capabilities.

The one-day CM Professionals Fall Summit will kick-off with an industry keynote followed by roundtable discussions and workshops. Attendees will have an opportunity to get advice and recommendations from experts who are already well established in the field, and to exchange ideas with other professionals working in the dynamic, increasingly important content management community of practice.
“This Summit is a natural complement to our three-day program that will focus on the broad range of content technologies available for enterprise applications, including already widely deployed technologies like content management and enterprise search,” said Frank Gilbane, Conference Chair. “We are co-located to provide attendees with the opportunity to maximize their time out of the office, to network with, and learn from their peers and industry analysts about the latest content management applications and deployments.”

Following Monday’s Summit, attendees can then participate in the three-day Gilbane Conference on Content Management Technologies. Complete event details can be found at: www.lighthouseseminars.com/gilbane_boston_05/GeneralInformation.html

The event brings together thought leaders and practitioners to provide attendees with actionable advice, techniques, best practices, and case studies to help successfully implement content technologies critical to their businesses.
This year’s conference will focus on the broad range of content technologies available for enterprise applications, including widely deployed technologies like content management and enterprise search. It will also look at the use and applicability of newer technologies for corporate content applications, especially blogs, wikis, RSS and “rich internet” applications.

— Content Technologists Track (CT) – These sessions are for IT or technically oriented content or business managers. The material is a little more technical and looks at a select set of content-related technologies.
— Marketing Managers Track (MT) – This track is designed for content managers who need to manage marketing content, whether for an e-commerce site or a cross-media brand or publishing strategy.
— Business & Compliance Managers Track (BC) – This track is for managers responsible for compliance, governance, and managing content to enhance business processes and risk reduction.
