Several months ago, one of my professional contacts recently sent me anarticle about digital asset management (DAM) trends. In addition to providing a layer of validation about my predictions for DAM opportunities in 2009, the article gave me a reason to review a blog I published a few weeks ago about SharePoint-as-DAM.

I think that the message of my original post might have been obfuscated in the discussion ofSharePoint and DAM products. If so, here is my point:interoperability. There will be fewer full-scale implementations of content systems in 2009 than in 2008 (or 2007…). The opportunities to enable peaceful co-existence of legacy systems are still there.

I’ve gottena lot of mileage from this map. And I feel a need to extend CMS Watch’s transit metaphor: How do you establish a bus route between your portal (SharePoint, Interwoven, …) and your DAM (Telescope, Artesia..). How can you build a bike path between your Web site (Vignette, IBM…) and your WordPress blog? (Many thanks toTony Byrne et al for creating and maintaining this great visual representation).
