Competition Among the Leaders of the ECM Market

Threat of New Entrants The threat of additional entry into the market is low because it takes high capital investments to start an ECM company and combined with the low rate of change it makes it even more difficult to start a substantial company base.

Bargaining Power of Suppliers There are no suppliers to Hyland in the fact that they generate the systems required to use ECM. The suppliers of the hardware on the other hand have low bargaining power with Hyland because there are a lot of hardware manufactures out there and if the price became too high Hyland could easily find another source.

Bargaining Power of Buyers Bargaining power between the buyers and the sellers of ECM systems is moderate in strength. The need for a good ECM system is high and puts pressure on companies like Hyland to produce a good product and constantly update. However the cost of change is high and lowers the threat of change.

Threat of Substitutes Substitutes for ECM or other HRIS firms are relatively low considering how hard it is to change from one system to another. For a company to change it would take a lot of time and money to fully incorporate the system. With that being said the competition between companies is fierce because of that very fact. They want to keep customers.

Rivalry Among Competitors The rivalry among sellers is high because once a company secures a customer it usually will hold that customer for a number of years. This fact makes it critical for a company to garb and maintain as many customers as it can to remain competitive.

Drivers of Change A big driver of change in the industry would be the state of the economy. Depending on what companies can afford determines whether or not they have money to spend on software. Although our software will ultimately help the bottom line and give a substantial ROI, sometimes companies have a hard time justifying the purchase of ECM software. (Amanda Gerding HR professional at Hyland Software) Increasing globalization of industry Changes in long-term industry growth rate Product innovation/technological change Diffusion of technical knowledge

Which Companies are in the Strongest/Weakest Positions? Hyland is partnered with Microsoft, HP, Oracle, SAP, Lawson, Esri and CITRIX.

Strategic Moves Rivals Will Make The basic content management requirements of organizations have become more complex. So has the definition of what comprises basic content from text, to audio, to video, to various types of social-media content. Content management technologies have also matured. Market consolidation has enabled leading vendors to deliver a broader set of solutions with combinations of technologies, although, even when buying from a single vendor, it can still prove a challenge to get its organic and acquired components to work together seamlessly.

At Hyland we treat our customers as our partners, treating them with integrity and respect gains their trust. Dedicated to keeping employees happy, the employees are our family. (Amanda Gerding)

Is the Industry Attractive? The industry is moderately attractive for a few different reasons. Unattractive: financially difficult to cross over entry barriers Most firms already cemented into market and are clear leaders. Attractive: Potentially profitable in growing economies were new markets are growing and businesses are needing ECM systems
