Return to basics: the goals and objectives of the ECM Club

Two weeks ago (. http://ecmclub. blogspot. com/2010/08/ecm. html. ) Were talking about whether we could then create a community or not.
I think that 'no', although it is believed 'yes'.

Of course, then it is possible to debate - ' what is community? '. I believe - is the number of people one way or another combined solution of some common problems.
In any case, the formation of community - not an end but a means.

And what purpose?.

In a blog profile says that the purpose of the project - the creation of ' site '. This is also not very accurate.

All the same objective - the creation of a mechanism (in the form of the site), which, by the union of the intellectual potential of all persons interested in this, would contribute to the development of Russian market of ECM.

Note - do not market the SED, namely ECM.

Will not delve into what I can see the differences between these concepts. I can only say that in my view ECM - is a new level ( and volume), which is due out our IT industry. Please note - the SED- industry and IT industry. Because in today's ECM - EDMS players will occupy only a portion of the market. What? .

Perhaps the IT industry will come back and without our help, simply because of objective factors, the growth of consumer demand. But the important point can be a subjective factor.

That could contribute to this development?.
a. Educating the masses (in terms of promoting ideas ECM). And preferably not at the level of common words and promises of paradise, but at the level of serious ' adult ' conversation with the generalization and analysis of experience.

2. The solution of problems existing in the way of a ' brighter future ECM-, consolidated efforts of the interested in this business community. Let me stress that the debate and discussion - this is not an end in itself. This means the decision to quit at least some, but still specific issues.

If you try to summarize. My performance evaluation within 10 months.

I believe that, in general, none of the identified goals, objectives to be achieved.
But the positive results, of course, there.
We obtain an interesting experience, useful for the future.
It is clear that the creation of a collective blog - it is much harder than it seemed a year ago.
Clearly visible are some positions of market participants.

In view of this it is necessary to adjust tactics and strategy and move on.
