This is not to say that there are not draw backs with cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One fallacy I&#8217;ll dispel is the security concern.  I would all but guarantee your network does not have nearly the protection of the big data centers who are hosting these services.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next of course is the complete reliance on your Internet connection. I always recommend redundancy in that area to remove the single point of failure.  Also, unless you have a huge instance which may afford you dedicated hardware for most of us it will a shared environment.  If not provisioned and administered well there is the potential for issues.  Pound for pound I&#8217;ll still take and recommend the cloud <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Content services<\/strong>, and content service platforms have been around for a long time. They were not always called that, but the functionality, to a greater or lesser extent, was available through enterprise content management (ECM) systems. However, as anyone who follows the ECM space knows, Gartner put a nail in the that coffin in 2017 when Michael Woodbridge\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gartner.com\/michael-woodbridge\/the-death-of-ecm-and-birth-of-content-services\/\" target=\"_blank\">predicted<\/a>\u00a0the \u2018death of ECM\u2019, even if, in practical terms for organizations little changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pixabay.com\/photo\/2018\/06\/26\/18\/42\/storm-clouds-3499982__340.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cECM is now dead (kaput, finite, an ex-market name),&#8221; Woodbridge wrote, &#8220;at least in how Gartner defines the market. It\u2019s been replaced by the term Content Services, a strategic concept that covers three aspects, namely <strong>Content Services<\/strong> Applications, Platforms and Components.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then \u2014\u00a0that is for the past three years \u2014\u00a0Gartner has renamed its Magic Quadrant for ECM as Magic Quadrant for <strong>Content Services <\/strong>Platforms (CSP).
