According to Forrester, the market for content services platform is undergoing a significant shift: “Two markets have collided. Traditional enterprise content management (ECM) vendors are rearchitecting their platforms to be cloud native, while vendors with heritage in cloud enterprise file sync and share have pivoted to broader content repository services. This market overlap has resulted in a new segment: cloud content platforms.”
