Microsoft unveils a new version of its content-management server this week, and analysts say the update establishes the vendor as a viable alternative for large business deployments. Microsoft got into the content-management market with its April 2001 acquisition of NCompass Labs, and it's been viewed as a small-business niche player since. Microsoft is out to change that perception with the new release. "This is really the version where we rebuilt the underlying architecture to be a true Microsoft product," says Chris Ramsey, lead product manager of Content Management Server.
Three areas of improvement in Content Management Server 2002 are designed to attract IT buyers in large companies: new productivity tools such as integration that let Word documents be published directly to the content-management system; improved application development that makes it easier to build custom features and templates; and better use of XML and Web-services standards for simpler integration with heterogeneous computing environments.
Analysts expect the enhancements to pay off. Already, Microsoft has been making its mark in the content-management arena by winning about 100 deals per quarter, or two to three times as many as each of the market leaders, Documentum, Interwoven, and Vignette, says Forrester Research analyst Nick Wilkoff. The improvements, combined with Microsoft's pricing and ease-of-deployment, should prove attractive to established Microsoft shops, he adds. "If there's any bias toward Microsoft in your company, you'll definitely want to have them on the shortlist for content management," he says.
Microsoft says it will be easier for users of its Content Management Server to index and retrieve information on Web sites now that it has inked a deal with Inktomi Corp. to integrate the latter's Enterprise Search software with CMS. Microsoft will offer an evaluation copy of Enterprise Search as part of its Internet business-solution kit. The deal makes sense, Forrester Research analyst John Dalton says. "Businesses are creating an awful lot of content, and getting quick and easy access to it is becoming more difficult."
