Gartner defines the collaborative work management (CWM) market as the market for stand-alone software tools that provide task-driven workspaces to enable end users to plan, coordinate and automate their work. These tools provide an integrated assembly of user-friendly capabilities for work planning, in-context collaboration, content collaboration, workflow and automation, reporting, analysis and dashboarding, intelligent assistance, and use-case acceleration on a platform that handles data management and administrative operations. Tools are defined by their purpose (work planning and execution), target users and breadth of functionality.
Gartner defines the generative AI (GenAI) knowledge management apps/general productivity submarket as technologies that enable companies to better retrieve and contextualize information and insight from their knowledge bases, including enterprise AI search, conversational AI platforms, and productivity tools for communications and content development.
