Global SaaS-based ECM Market 2014-2018 with EMC Corp., OpenText Corp., Oracle Corp. & SpringCM Dominating
M2 - Thu Jun 26, 5:58AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4dkm93/global_saasbased) has announced the addition of the "Global SaaS-based ECM Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global SaaS-based ECM market will grow at a CAGR of 31.11% over the period 2013-2018. To calculate the market size, the report considers subscription revenue from sales of the following enterprise applications: Document Centric Collaboration, Web Content Management, Document Imaging, Document Management System, and Records Management. One of the major drivers in the market is the need for effective management of corporate information. ECM helps store and publish content as well as maintain a collaborative environment. This in turn provides information to professionals regarding their existing and new clients as well as new ventures undertaken by the organization. Hence, ECM systems offer a user-friendly experience to customers by pushing targeted content including email management and campaign management. Continuous developments in cloud computing and mobile technology have enhanced the traditional ECM trends and practices. Hybrid cloud-based ECM is seen as an emerging opportunity for organizations that use cloud applications without compromising the security of business-critical content. Hybrid SaaS-based ECM solutions are seen as the right model for enterprise solutions as they allow end-users to move their content to the cloud. Organizations are still in the early stage of this shift because many organizations are exploring the private cloud and virtualization. However, some organizations are planning to run their own data centers to move all their mission-critical applications to the cloud. In addition, hybrid ECM is a suitable solution for cloud-based applications because mobile users can enhance the collaboration without disturbing existing production applications. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges confronting the market is data security concerns. Data security is critical for most businesses because client information, payment information, personal files, bank account details, and other confidential information can be difficult to replace. Also, this information can be dangerous if it is available to third parties. Data breaches or leaks are the major concern mentioned by customers during contract negotiation for on-demand solutions.

With the expansion in Internet usage and rising deployment of online content, especially multimedia, Over-the-Top (OTT), and video, advanced solutions provided by the content delivery networks market are required for efficient delivery to the end user.

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) developed to counter these limitations of Internet for delivering Quality of Service (QoS) when users access online content. CDNs provide advanced Internet infrastructure that is needed to deliver web content proficiently. The technologies made available by the CDN market offer faster delivery of web pages and video content requested by the user with a benefit of network optimization and low bandwidth cost.
