Biography

Tony Byrne

Tony Byrne oversees all of The Real Story Group’s technology streams and properties, which include CMS Watch, Enterprise Information Watch, and SharePoint Watch.

In 2001, Tony founded CMS Watch as a vendor-independent analyst firm that evaluates content technologies and publishes research comparing different solutions head-to-head. Over time, CMS Watch evolved into a multi-channel research and advisory organization, spinning off similar product evaluation research in various areas of Enterprise Content Management. As a result of this natural evolution, in 2010, The Real Story Group became the parent company of CMS Watch and its sister entities, EI Watch and SharePoint Watch.

Prior to founding CMS Watch, Tony led the developer team a systems integrator, following previous stints as a programmer, journalist, and international educator.

This tutorial will share customer research from noted evaluation firm CMS Watch on leading collaboration and community l software technologies, and provide a framework for customers to evaluate the marketplace based on their own needs.
