Highlights
The Documents and Records Management (DRM) market has undergone significant consolidation, with many major vendors acquired and product lines absorbed. IT decision makers are finding it difficult to distinguish between the various vendors in this space. On the other hand, DRM vendors are increasingly looking at ways to achieve a competitive edge.
The market for content services such as image capturing and processing is experiencing accelerated growth, and as a result, services vendors are beginning to see a strong business case to enter the DRM market. This trend is expected to continue, with many smaller independent vendors seen as likely acquisition targets.
With the DRM market now achieving a high degree of technological maturity, vendor focus on differentiation is shifting away from technology capabilities to service strengths. End-users too are expected to focus more on attributes like support quality and client engagement over factors such as portfolio depth and vertical specialization.
