Ladies and Gentlemen, the session we have been waiting for, the keynote. Will be interesting to hear what Rick Devenuti says. I already know he is a better presenter than Mark Lewis, but let’s focus on the content. Based upon what I heard from the European Momentum and saw at AIIM, it should be better.

This is just the notes. Analysis will follow later. Enjoy.

• Jeetu Patel, Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Marketing Officer, taking the stage first
• Strongly hinting that we should attend the VMWare keynote tomorrow for an announcement
• Rick takes the stage
• Said this is the 11th Momentum show. [funny, this is my 12th]
• Documentum is at the top of the Information Infrastructure product stack for EMC
• Help our customers get maximum leverage from their information
• Four dimensions of information
• Content types (Office files, video, blogs, wikis, PDF)
• Location Independence (SassS apps and mobile apps
• Services ( Governance, analytics, process, library services)
• Apps (Case, Content, Web Experience Management…)
• Said we are in the Big Data and Social Solution Era
• Cloud has a lot of difficult realities that we are still working through as an industry
• EMC Big-Data Stack
• Scale to store data
• Collect data (different applications like SAP)
• Analyze data in realtime (Greenplum)
• Documentum Acts through collaboration (top of stack)
• IT used to give us productivity at work, now users get the productivity IT themselves (iPads, SaaS apps…)
• New Alliance between EMC and Cisco Quad for Enterprise Social Collaboration Platform
• Social (Cicso), Business Process (EMC), Communications (Cisco), Content/Documents (EMC)
• Demo tomorrow during Jeetu’s presentation
• iPad demo had Box.net app
• Mobile application for Content Server demo live through a MIFI device. Seems to be real given download time. [Nothing fancy, but shiny]
• Working on new mobile release every 3 months, multiple device support, not just Apple
• Content Mobility through the Cloud using Box
• Box as a front-end to Documentum with Documentum behind the firewall
• SourceOne recap, not much new
• Whether you like it or not, SharePoint is easy to deploy [Not much new here]
• For collaboration, 3 options, Box, Cisco Quad, SharePoint [not CenterStage or other EMC client]
• Documentum isn’t ready for the cloud, but the “Journey is Accelerating”
• EMC OnDemand
• Single tenant on common infrastructure.
• Hybrid cloud approach
• Captiva, Documentum, Document Sciences are first
• SourceOne and xCP coming in Q1 2012 to OnDemand
• Starting this quarter, controlled release in Q3
• General release in Q4
• Restate that this stuff wasn’t designed for the cloud
• Virtual Cube leveraging VMWare and EMC architecture
• Multi-product/service container
• Cube contains Prod, test, dev
• Contains 3rd party apps (databases…)
• Leverages vApp technology and best practices for making Documentum work
• Can be onsite of off-premise
• OnDemand can be up on 2 hours vs 6 months [Seems a stretch, but a few days would still be nice] 2 hours is based upon off-premise time
• Focus at IIG is on Cloud/Big Data, Transform Business, The User, Information Governance
• Focus on Partners, Solutions and ROI are the goal
• Customer satisfaction survey results impacts the bonus pool now to motivate employees

Now off to the Roadmap presentation, after I find coffee and an Internet connection to upload this post (though it stands to reason that if you are reading this, I’ve already done that step).
