Stellent, Inc. (Nasdaq: STEL), a global provider of content management solutions, announced today it was positioned in the "leaders" quadrant of Gartner, Inc.’s "Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Content Management (ECM), 2006"1 report. Gartner (NYSE: IT) is the leading provider of research and analysis on the global information technology industry. This report is Gartner’s third edition of the Enterprise Content Management Magic Quadrant.
According to the report, "Leaders have the highest combined scores for their ability to execute and completeness of vision. They’re currently doing well and are prepared for the future with a clearly articulated vision. In the context of content management, they have strong channel partners, a presence in multiple regions, consistent financial performance, broad platform support and good customer support. In addition, they dominate in one or more technology or vertical market. Leaders can deliver a comprehensive ECM suite by having all six core components and proven enterprise scalability. Greater emphasis was given this year to suite integration (for example, a common user interface, common code base and single repository), demonstrated enterprise deployments, integration with other business applications and content repositories, and a vertical process/solutions focus." Gartner defines the six core ECM components as being document management, Web content management, records management, document imaging, document-centric collaboration and workflow.
"We are pleased Gartner has listed Stellent in the leaders quadrant in the Enterprise Content Management Magic Quadrant,” said Robert Olson, president and chief executive officer for Stellent. "Gartner estimates ECM was a $2.3 billion software market in 2005 (based on total software revenue) and has a forecast compound annual growth rate of 12.8 percent through 2010. We look forward to further capitalizing on this industry expansion by continuing to develop and deliver solutions that fulfill customers’ most pressing content management needs."
As an example, Stellent is in the process of integrating digital rights management functionality it recently acquired from SealedMedia Limited into the Stellent® Universal Content Management™ product suite, ensuring content managed by the system remains secure even when it is distributed and shared outside of the enterprise. All access rights for this digital information will be managed, audited and reported on from a central system. For instance, access to Stellent-managed content stored on remote desktops or mobile wireless devices will be able to be centrally revoked.
