One of the companies we’ve been following here at damTRENDS is Nuxeo, an open-source ECM developer based in Paris. Nuxeo is pretty blunt about their strategy: “to be a disruptive force and instigate change to today’s software industry inefficient practices.”
Let’s start off today with a brief press release about some new software that will integrate Lotus Notes with the Nuxeo platform.
 BOSTON, January 18, 2010 — Nuxeo, the Open Source Enterprise Content Management (ECM) company, announced today that Galaxy partner metaLogic Consulting Inc. will showcase for the first time a Lotus Notes integration and migration software to the Nuxeo open source ECM platform. The metaLogic product will be available this spring. metaLogic brings deep content management expertise to its customer base and has more than 12 years experience as an IBM partner.
“Many companies are currently using Lotus Domino Document Manager, which has reached end of life. These companies have exciting opportunities to move to modern, interoperable ECM platforms,” said Bruce Grant, president of metaLogic. “We’ve been building out solutions to address this transition problem for the past year. We believe that Nuxeo’s offering is a great migration path for companies who want to migrate their information to a flexible, open, stable enterprise document management system.”

Just checking in today with a few posts to test the system. After an extended winter break, damTRENDS will be picking up the buzz once again in February. The entire staff (heh) did some traveling around the southwestern US and left DAM, IT, CMS, and all those other goofy letters behind for a while.
We’ll be back to regular blogging and reporting in a few weeks. Just a heads-up for now.
See you soon!
