One of the core values of Claromentis is clarity – we really do try to avoid any chance of confusion wherever we can.

I was reminded of this at a project kick off meeting this week, where some of the client staff had got into the mindset of focusing on “content management” in the discussion, when in fact their intent was to get the best plan for “information management” in the first phase of the project.

Left unchecked this could have resulted in much of the day being focused on entirely the wrong requirement for project success. What was needed was not a detailed discussion of best practices in content management, but a much more open debate about what information platforms were best suited to various sets of data that the client needed to migrate to Claromentis. Managing an information layer is not about content management – but content management is indeed a part of the puzzle.

Examples like this in themselves are innocuous, but they demonstrate again and again that as a supplier of customizable collaboration platforms our responsibility is to add clarity to the potentially confusing world when relatively wide ranging IT projects get underway.
