Top Vendors Content Management Competitive Analysis and Vendor Shares 2008: IBM Retains Top Spot

This IDC study provides the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan), or APEJ, content management (CM) software vendor profile. Also included are the market shares of the top 10 vendors for the region and the market shares of the top 5 vendors for each of the 10 largest country/region markets for CM software in APEJ. This study also provides guidance for vendors that are seeking to successfully expand their footprint in the region.

"The CM software market in the APEJ region grew by 18.61% to nearly US$215.67 million in 2008. Collectively, the top 5 vendors represent approximately 58% of the CM market in the region with a few new entries in the top 10 vendor list. There is continuous demand from legacy businesses and developing countries, as organizations endeavor to transition from manual overlay systems to automated systems," says Ridhi Sawhney, market analyst, IDC Asia/Pacific Software Research. "Managing the content (i.e., the ever-increasing volumes of information, mounting regulatory and legislative pressure, and disparate applications with isolated repositories) remains a big challenge."
