About the Word

My name out in the real world is Laurence Hart. I lead the Information Management Solution Team for Washington Consulting, Inc., a regional management consulting firm based out of Washington, DC. I’ve been in the ECM space for over 10 years and have worked with Documentum, though not exclusively, since 2000.

This is meant to be a place to learn and share thoughts about the Documentum product line, Enterprise Content Management, and the world around them. Other thoughts, concerns, and rants may be added as well as the feeling moves me. I am writing for the ECM professional, though some of my topics will resonate with you Enterprise Architect types.

Everything here represents my own opinion unless clearly stated otherwise.  I do this on my personal time for personal reasons.

Why Word of Pie? It all stems from a college nickname. The full story, and the complete nickname for that matter, isn’t something for polite company. If you know me, ask me over a couple of pints and I might share it with you.

Note: I do moderate comments and will try to either post and/or respond to every comment. Any comments that seem more like a pitch for services/products than furthering the discussion will not be approved.

If you need to reach me, fire me an email at:

I am now on Twitter: @piewords. It isn’t purely technology as I throw off-topic thoughts out there as well.
