On my way to Harvey Spencer Associates Capture 2014 Conference, where I will be presenting for the 10th straight year. The industry has certainly evolved quite a bit in that time, as has the content of the conference. Here’s a look at the agenda for this year’s event. Here’s an article I did previewing this special 10th anniversary edition of the event.
My presentation this year reflects the history of the conference, as Harvey has asked me to take a look back at how the market has evolved since 2005. I have a fairly detained presentation (that will be delivered in 15 minutes or so, so it will be action packed), but here’s a preview of one slide, which includes what I consider to be the five biggest capture trends in the past 10 years:
- Consolidation of Capture with ECM
- Aggressive Movement of Hardware Vendors into Capture Software & Services
- Emergence of Mobile & Cloud Technologies
- SharePoint’s Emergence as an ECM Platform
- Acceptance of Distributed Capture
That’s just a teaser. Lot more to come in my preso, such as a fairly detailed list of all the major M&A activity in capture market over past 10 years and my opinion on what it tells us.
Cheers.
