Documentum News & Articles

Together, EMC Corporation and C6, a French enterprise content management software provider, are on a mission to ease CMS efforts. Today the pair released EMC Documentum D2, an application for the codeless building of content solutions that quickly match ECM application functionality to business needs. 

Enterprise content management is a 2.7 billion dollar industry with just a hand full of vendors competing for market share. Documentum was once the master of the content management space, the de facto product for most companies looking to automate their processes and get control over unstructured data. After the dot-com bust, Documentum’s presence wavered and was eventually purchased by EMC. EMC CEO Joe Tucci’s recently announced on an EMC’s earnings call that the Information Intelligence Group at ECM was down 5%. Oracle’s, on the other hand, is expecting to show an impressive 20% growth. And it has come up with a plan it thinks will help Documentum customers.

We said last month that we’d let you know when you would be able to go mobile with EMC’s Documentum. Officially released today (Monday), the app for iPad is now available from the app store and is free to those with client licenses for Documentum.

Think about all the things you can do with EMC’s Documentum, and then think about doing them mobile. According to EMC’s website, Documentum userscan do that now by taking their repositories out of the enterprise using the iPad.

Looks like vacations in document-management land are coming to an end. This week alone, Box enhanced its mobile document management offerings, Metalogix offers content migration from SharePoint to Documentum, PSIGEN offers Office 365 scanning, Cabinet NG upgrades CNG-WEB, and Fijitsu offers scanning for Laserfiche.

Legacy content and enterprise content management systems were always going to be one of the problems with SharePoint 2010 deployment. Slowly but surely, Metalogix (news, site) is going through the list of major enterprise CMs and providing a way of getting content from legacy systems into SharePoint. This week it’s Documentum's turn.

While the benefits of cloud computing have been documented in many different studies and research papers, and many companies are looking to move to the cloud to solve IT problems related to cost, ease of deployment and scalability -- among others -- the question as to whether they actually should is still open to debate. Nowhere is this more relevant than in enterprise content management.

EMC’s (news, site) presence in the cloud is to be substantially increased with the announcement at EMCWorld that it is making Captiva, Document Sciences, CenterStage and Documentum available on demand on either private clouds, or on public clouds through appropriate service providers.

EMC World is in full swing this week and the news that EMC and Cisco are joining forces to create a new enterprise collaboration platform that combines the world of collaboration, content management and compliance may be music to some ears.

Prior to EMC World, there was a lot of buzz about what might be announced. After Rick Devenuti’s keynote, it is clear that the buzz was not unwarranted. EMC’s (news, site) Information Intelligence Group (IIG) is making a big push into both the cloud and mobile worlds while making some big changes in their collaboration strategy.

For cloud computing to be successful was going to require an increasing number of partnerships between vendors to get the best technology from all worlds. The announcement of a new partnership between Box (news, site)  and EMC's Documentum is the kind of thing we’re talking about.

Capgemini (news, site) brings the big guns in its new collaboration framework project for collaborative, compliance-based, portals.

In a job market as challenging as this one, a certification could be what differentiates you from the other candidates. If you are a Documentum professional, or if you want to be a Documentum professional, passing the EMC (news, site) Proven Professional Certification Exam E20-120 can only help you on your quest.

It's been a busy week in the SharePoint space with the release of a new tool for integration with Documentum, as well as integration with ComponentOne’s Doc-To-Help for SharePoint library access.

If FatWire’s (news, site) H1 numbers are any indication of Web Engagement's staying power, then we’d say the fans have nothing to worry about. Thanks to strong product delivery, new customers and a strategic partnership, the company reported an exceptional first half of 2010.
