This is worth a read.  Comes from a DLI resource, so there is an obvious bias regarding Docova, but the soapbox is pretty close to the ground.  

What the article is trying to say is that if you want document management, not just file sharing and team collaboration, then there are alternatives on the Domino platform.  You do not have to change your infrastructure to get functionality that you were used with with products like DDM. You do NOT have to look for a non-Domino based solution.

This is especially true for SMB customers.  Although smaller in size, many of these organizations require features similar to what you find in an ECM product offering, but at a price point traditionally offered in a Lotus product.

You may notice that Quickr is not mentioned in the article. The reason is that we do not feel Quickr falls into this class of products. IBM is very careful in there literature to position Quickr in terms of Collaboration and Sharing.  If you do not believe me, Google IBM Document Management and try to find references to Quickr.  They describe it as a product that delivers "basic content services".  We felt that if we talked about Quickr in terms of a document management solution, we could not do it without shedding a negative light on the product.  Quickr is a good product, if you use it for what it was intended.
