At EMC World, the OEM edition of Documentum was unveiled, Content Services OEM. The presentation showed that EMC understands that an OEM program is made up of the platform, support, and marketing. Unfortunately what they developed for CS didn't quite meet the standards that they themselves announced. But there are ways to work around their... Continue Reading →
Symantec and Content Management
I just read and interview of John Thompson , CEO of Symantec and after a little research it strikes me how they have been steadily creeping into the content and storage management market. Naturally when I think of this company the first thing that comes to mind virus scanning software but three years ago the... Continue Reading →
Flex Builder or EMC Composer IDE for Magellan
I just finished up a little side project creating a custom Documentum UI with the Eclipse based FlexBuilder 3.0. I rarely code any more and this was my first opportunity to work with the technology. When learning new languages and techniques I find that I spend far less time these days with syntax than I... Continue Reading →
Is Documentum really talking Web2.0 or is it just Jive?
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 →

I open with Whitney Tidmarsh’s comment at the CM&A Party, “you never really get to far away from Documentum.” It’s very... Continue Reading →
EMC World 2008 – First Thoughts
Well I’ve been roaming around EMC World for the past two days as an “Independent”. Unfortunately Lee is finding himself tethered to a booth but tells me he’s having a great time talking tech with everybody and playing with the BMOC mascots. The conference in general has been good and I’m learning some new... Continue Reading →
BMOC at EMC World
I was inspired by two recent posts. Pie's invitation to meet him at EMC World and Chuck Hollis' post on transparency in blogging. I'll be manning the Armedia booth (#336) at EMC World in Las Vegas this year and I'd love for you to stop by and visit. I'd like to tell you that I... Continue Reading →
Open Text and License Revenue
I am amazed at how (at least in public) old time "Documentum" people continue to be dismissive of Open Text. I've written here before that it seemed that OT's acquisition strategy and close ties to Microsoft seemed at odds with a takeover bid but In case you haven't noticed, Open Text is making money. A...

OEM and the EMC Inside Strategy
After an uncomfortably long silence we are seeing more about EMC's OEM strategy as it relates to Content Management. The press release adresses five key areas. A formal rebranding of the X-Hive XML server and a reference from http://www.doczone.com IRM and a customer highlight for a SaaS evidence management application The OEM content server is mentioned with no customer reference Application Xtender is presented...
