The map is a cool idea for visualisation,
but we need a more Plone centric interpretation of it! ;-)
They mention Plonbe because they cannot omit it.
Very interesting is the position of Plone in a 2008 vendor risk
profile visualisation by CMSWatch, where Plone is only CMS beeing in
the middle of the "Balanced" feature area having a good mix of
development velocity (too quick is turbulenced and not that cool) and
other aspects.

The evaluation is of course not up to date and cannot cover the
potenttials of the upcoming Plone 4 and 5 releases but can lead to
some new definition of Plone's USP.

If wikipedia is to be believed then my guess is archiving, desktop
integration and scanning is perhaps what's missing?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_content_management
"New product suites have arisen from the combination of capture,
search and networking capabilities with technologies of the content
management field, which have traditionally addressed digital
archiving, document management and workflow. Generally speaking,
this is when content management becomes enterprise content
management. The different nomenclature is intended to encompass all
of the problem areas related to the use and preservation of
information within an organization, in all of its forms — not just
its web-oriented face to the outside world."
I know systems like TRIM handle imaging and archiving etc which
plone doesn't normally integrate with. Sharepoint integrates with
exchange and desktop sharing in ways Plone doesn't do as
comprehensively. Anyone familiar with Alfresco know what it can do
that Plone doesn't that qualifies as ECM?
Sorry, I am not familiar with Alfresco.
But we use internally scanning document PDF directly into Plone via
FTP. With the pdftoocr Plone product you can make scanned documents
searchable. Maybe this adresses some of the points.http://plone.org/products/pdftoocr
Everybody using Plone and being in competition with Sharepoint etc.
should know and do some evaluation http://www.cyn.in a Plone 3 based
collaboration suite. There a some very cool workarounds for poor
solutions in the Plone UI (i.e. tagging with keywords, recycle bin
(space risky but necessary for revision proof deleting.), Mindmap
based sitemap, high throughput commenting with microblogging desktop
client based on adobe air.
Cyn.in is catching a lot of ECM use-cases Plone can only match with
integration work and "hell" they promote it in a very professional
way. There is still a lot of stuff you need / can do integrating Plone/
cyn.in with other products to make it real cool. So take this part of
the family on the Photo!
When we want Plone to be listed as a well known competitor, there
should be official bundled "Plone with ECM taste" releases like the
Plone4Education or Plone4Artists distributions for adressing the
target groups.
The drawback is that the plone foundation efforts to promote Plone as
a whole is exploded into micro activities when this is done in
parallel tasks. Even when a team is able to force this in one year,
there is the risk for investors that there is growing a dead branch
sticking with a particular version the next time. The same is with the
in general cool idea using Plone for NAS USP activity.
At last we need to focus what we can manage!
