Reader Reviews
A Second Opinion - Non-FileNet Todd R. Groff - Co-Author "FileNet: A Consultant's Guide to Enterprise Content Management" Thank you for the feedback Mr. Tom Woodward and your comments about missing the mark regarding Enterprise Content Management (ECM) from FileNet. Thomas and I have not worked directly for FileNet. Our knowledge of the products has been gathered from experience, FileNet classes, FileNet engineers including Professional Services and from FileNet's Extra. I disagree with your book review, because although the FileNet sales team has assigned new names to the products, their field engineers are telling a different story when contacted. They are saying that P8 is an upgrade, not a new product and that the majority of the comments around Enterprise Content Management (ECM) are tied to a sales drive to hit an emerging market. FileNet's P8 suite is the upgrade and repackaging of their previous products and this book describes the application of these products in detail. If not having the latest market driven name of a product makes you an idiot, then most individuals in the IT field are idiots at some point in their career. Those interested in a FileNet book can browse this book before they buy. This book is a 200-page look at FileNet and their products. There are over 45 figures and tables covering distributed capture, records retention, implementations and costs, some product pricing, media options, web farms and more. The book comes from years of working with FileNet products, implementing FileNet projects, attending FileNet schools and paying $250 per hour for FileNet Professional Services. This book is not an end-all technical guide, but a consultants / project managers book to help understand the overall products and processes used within enterprise content management tools. I believe this book to be very relevant, because it is a consolidation of the questions we have been asked by managers over the years. A member of the Department of Homeland Security in reference to FileNet products recently contacted me. He was looking for information and knowledge of how to apply FileNet products to his organization's problems. Regardless of FileNet's description of ECM, the description did not readily provide a solution. People provide solutions. Amazon.com knows enterprise content management and they have provided an excellent technology, "Search Inside". Please use it to search on the different figures or areas of interest that you might have. The search results will be in the form of the actual book pages. If you don't like what you see, then don't buy the book. Because Mr. Woodward spent the time to review this book, I did not want to post a rating and undermine the rating system. However Amazon requires a rating to post, so I'm rating this book as "3" stars. I believe it to be a "5" star book, however the other two postings are averaging out at "3" stars.
