IDC forecast healthy growth for the global content collaboration software market-- revenues should reach a total of $6.2 billion by 2019 with 13.4% CAGR for the 2014-2019 period.

A good part of such growth comes from a need to connect unstructured, ad hoc collaboration with structured content-centric business processes. The cloud will also drive business, with public cloud-based collaboration achieving 23.1% CAGR while on-premises growth remains essentially flat at 0.8%.

The analyst also points out the future of content collaboration lies in the intersection between structured work in ECM and unstructured sharing in FSS-- meaning personal productivity demand will continue pushing the market towards more seamless and dynamic solutions.
