KMWorld Announces Their 2008 List of Trend Setting ProductsKMWorld Announces Their 2008 List of Trend Setting Products

KMWorld, the magazine and website dedicated to content, document and knowledge management, recently announced their 2008 list of trend setting products.It's the sixth year that KMWorld has presented the list, and as usual it's an interesting mix of new and old faces. I don't want to knock the list because it's a good way to get an overview of the biggest players in content, information and document management, but with over a hundred entries, it's a little overwhelming, and it's tough to know where to start.

There are of course lots of familiar players (Microsoft SharePoint, Open Text, Interwoven) and a few headscratcher ommisions (where art thou, wiki trendsetter Atlassian Confluence?), but all and all it's good place to see some of the industry's most compelling products.

A full list of all the products with links to each of the vendor sites is available on the KMWorld.com site.

Also of interest to the knowledge management community is the KMWorld & Intranets 2008 conference, coming up later this month. Scheduled from September 23 - 25, 2008 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, the conference bills itself as the National Conference and Exposition on Knowledge Management, Content Management, Intranets, and Portals. It shares space with the Enterprise Search Summit West, so this will be a good opportunity to cover a broad swath of the content management world's concerns in just a few days.
