I was one of about 30 people to be fortunate enough to attend one of the more interesting sessions at EMC World for Documentum. Interesting in that it was all about implementing Web 2.0 solutions on top of the platform. Fortunate enough in that, for some reason, the session was scheduled for the last session...

EMC World 2008 – Random Reflections
EMC World was exhausting but very productive and a good time was had by everyone I spoke to. By all accounts from the many postings I've read this has been far more informative and newsworthy than in recent years for CMA. As Marko pointed out, I was working the booth for the entire show with... Continue Reading →
See the Value in CEVAs
Two years ago Gartner coined a new acronym CEVA, Content Enabled Vertical Applications, and it created some buzz in the enterprise content management space. Now I get a little lost here and have to think about what a Vertical means in software terms. Imagitek, a proclaimed CEVA, offers case management with specializations in contracts and...

Documentum – One year after Dave
Like a lot of folks, Dave DeWalt’s departure from EMC took me by surprise. I met Dave his first week on the job. At the time I was a technical partner manager with a passion for web content management. Dave asked me if I wanted to have a front seat to turning the company around,... Continue Reading →
There’s No Such Thing as a Free Lunch
This week’s announcement from Microsoft that they will be giving away developer software free to students and the BLOG posts on the topic, left me with two very different opinions I wanted to share. First thing I want to point out was an omission by those folks, like CMS Watch "Microsoft's new game plan: Target the dorm room.",... Continue Reading →
Documentum and Unnatural Acts
Johnny Gee's recent post on a Migration Dilema describes a client's reluctance to create a taxonomy when migrating content into Documentum. The argument from the client being, "if the old system didn't need it, why does Documentum?" I've heard this more than once myself and this kind of question is usually followed by a complaint...

“Dear Documentum – Fix the Problem. A. Friend”
I was reading Johnny Gee’s BLOG and his article “Why can’t search be more like Google?” and I flashed back to a day in 1998 when several of us were invited to the Demo Room of Building 1 at Documentum. There the ten of us were introduced to Project Alchemy, which would later become the... Continue Reading →
XHive Brings Technical Publishing Vertical Solution to EMC
Imaging aside, I cannot point to any other product in the EMC portfolio that can be classified as a content creation tool other than the applet driven WebPublisher. Third party integrations may be on the price list but they are not necessarily part of the product line's strategic direction. I suppose you could make the... Continue Reading →
Shoes and ECM
Well Marko , if you are going to run a marathon - the most important thing you have to do (I'm told) is buy the right shoes. From some of the conversations I've heard, you can actually be killed if you attempt the wrong physical activity without proper footware (yes I know it's misspelled -... Continue Reading →
Bubba’s Running the NYC Marathon
With Hurricane Noel making it's way along the Florida coast, I realized that I might need to come up with alternate plans to going home for the weekend. Once I got to my hotel's lobby I literally ran into an idea. Why not stay and run in the New York City Marathon. After helping clean... Continue Reading →
