The EMC Documentum Web Content Management products were recognized for performance and market presence. The EMC Documentum Enterprise Content Management platform was also commended for its impressive breadth of functionality, from web content management and collaboration to records management and digital asset management. The new METAspectrum evaluation provides an objective assessment of companies providing web content management solutions that empower business users, webmasters and website developers to create and manage websites, including capacity planning, site design/layout, look/feel navigation, content development, production, content delivery, session tracking and site evolution. "We developed METAspectrum to enable IT professionals to quickly evaluate vendors based on their ability to deliver on the presence and performance criteria that matter most in a given market," said Gene Alvarez, vice president with META Group's Content and Collaboration Strategies group.
