Market position

The market for management and sharing of information and documents is often portrayed as the sweet spot of the IT market, an absolutely central function that must be in place before other systems will work. Internationally, the closest designation of the market area is Enterprise Content Management (ECM). It is one of the fastest-growing markets in the modern IT world, with a growth rate estimated to be considerably higher than the traditional IT market.

This growth is due to certain clear and important trends. On the one hand, we are seeing a radical increase in the volume of information to which all organizations must respond, with more numerous and more advanced systems for storing information and making it available. On the other side, private- and public-sector organizations face a completely new world of requirements for the production and use of information.

The requirements for documentation of processes have become much more stringent - encompassing private-sector enterprise as well – through legislation (SOX, EuroSox/Directive 8 in the EU, local standards such NOARK and the Joint Electronic Document Management System (FESD), etc). New requirements for the use and presentation of information are not only imposed by statutory requirements, however; to an ever increasing extent, leaders see the value of storing the knowledge contained in documents and of managing it in a controlled way.

Needs for collaboration and openness are growing in all organizations, including those in the public sector. Along with the growing volume of information, completely new requirements for its use and access are emerging. A third important trend which is influencing the IT market is a growing desire for simultaneous processing, collaboration and communication in several new channels. The result is a sharp increase in the demand for core solutions for management and sharing of information. This is where Software Innovation holds a key position.
