Will WEM Replace WCM?
In the movie The Replacements, starring Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman, the football team brought in a bunch of rag-tag replacements to play ball during a players strike, and eventually they won the big game and the hearts of the fans… and the star quarterback got the girl. Okay, really bad movie… I know. But the similarities between this movie and the inevitable replacement of web engagement management (WEM) over web content management (WCM) are uncanny. For those of you that do not have the time to download and suffer through two-hours of Keanu, EContent Magazine has a report that may help sum it up for you.
You don’t have to look far to find examples. Clickability has a new module called Website Marketing Acceleration (WMA). It’s targeted at B2B marketers, enabling them to focus more on visitor segmentation and targeting. Other vendors such as IBM, Adobe, FatWire (now Oracle), Open Text, Autonomy-Interwoven, Sitecore, Alterian, EPiServer, et al., have also been promoting their WEM capabilities rather than core content management functionality.
Is this good for the customer? Sure, why not. You either evolve or die in the IT industry (or you change your name from FatWire to Oracle, Day to Adobe, everyone else to Open Text). At the end of the day the customer buys more than a WCM or WEM solution… they end up buying an ever-evolving e-business solution.
