We Welcome You!

"The ECMINSTITUTE released today the world's largest Internet portal servicing the Enterprise Content Management industry with support of 40 individual communities with over 5,000 daily news and information-related items."

ECMHUB.org - the home page for the ECMINSTITUTE - provides 40 industry specific communities with daily feeds of over 5,000 articles including blogs, news, webcasts, events, discussions, videos, and RFPs. The website v2.0 incorporates emerging cloud and mashup technologies to deliver a single-page, single-click access to all the latest news and information within the content management industry. Unlike traditional information exclusive websites, ECMHUB.org provides a rich infrastructure for true web collaboration with free built-in chat, video and audio conferencing, whiteboarding, and screensharing. With a Google login as the only requirement to participate, the website encourages content management professionals to contribute to an ever-growing knowledge base of information. Built with the same infrastructure that Google uses, ECMHUB.org provides a scalable, single point location for professionals to meet, learn, and discover.

The ECMINSTITUTE, LLC. is an independent Association of Content Management Professionals. We service both the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Knowledge Management (KM) Industries and our members include IT professionals from a wide variety of both private and public organizations, including specialized vendors and consultants. Our primary objective is to help organizations successfully plan, design, build, and deploy content management solutions. We believe the primary success factor in content management implementation is people sharing knowledge. Through knowledge sharing we develop valuable best practices to help reduce project risks and lower implementation costs.

"Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality." - Dalai Lama

Gold Membership includes all the benefits of Basic Membership plus participation in ECMINSTITUTE's Sponsored Challenges. If you are seeking either a KM or ECM solution, we provide free problem analysis to help you reach out to industry experts.

At the ECMINSTITUTE we attempt to remove boundaries between organizations. Instead of struggling to solve problems internally, we help organizations look outward across the industry. We believe that a network of independent IT professionals have the combined wisdom to look at problems with a unique perspective. They also are unconstrained by corporate culture, politics, or predispositions and in a much better position to uncover a diamond in the rough.

Our collective intelligence approach also saves organizations money. By routinely casting problems to our experts you reduce overhead costs for specialized training, off site meetings, and salaried consultants. The process also helps organizations arrive at solutions quicker than attempting to solve problems on their own.

• Basic Membership benefits plus

• Priority listings of community posts

• Participation in ECMINSTITUTE sponsored challenge

Partner Membership

Are you interested in building your own “hub” supporting thousands of articles, news items, and blogs? As a Partner Member we help you and your organization quickly develop a web presence focused on cloud computing, aggregation, and collaboration.

What makes ECMHUB unique is the ability for the application to track the status of an entire industry through a massive mashup of blogs, news, webcasts, events, discussions, videos, and RFPs. Our built in free web hosting means people can easily collaborate to build personal communities. Implementing AJAX powered through Dojo Toolkit, ECMHUB provides a single page, single click website that eliminates the need for individuals to search or aggregate industry information on their own. The Dojo Toolkit is an open source modular JavaScript library designed to ease the rapid development of cross platform, JavaScript/Ajax based applications and web sites.

We believe this model, multiplied over many industries, would significantly reduce the need for generic Internet search, bookmarking, and RSS aggregation. Over time, one could imagine multiple industry “hubs” fundamentally changing how people view and use the Internet.

Come join our family and participate in reinventing how people collaborate while accessing global information.

Benefits:

• Basic Membership benefits plus
