In my previous post, I shared a copy of Mark Lewis’ CMA keynote presentation from EMC World 2009. It made me realize that I needed to crank out this post on EMC’s vision and Mark Lewis’ delivery of that vision. This is going to be a little devoid of facts for a couple of reasons. One is that the raw facts are captured in the presentation, SlideShare and YouTube, and in my notes. The second is that no vision was delivered at EMC World!!!

Talking on CMIS at EMC World and Other Slides
In case you missed it, there were a lot of presentations last week at EMC World. While most of the slides are only available to attendees, there are a few exceptions. The first is my presentation. Since I wrote part of it and was a co-presenter with Karin Ondricek of EMC, I was given permission to share it online. I’m throwing it out there for everyone to see, especially as I didn’t take notes on my own presentation.
One thing that I always convey when I talk about the AIIM iECM demo, that isn’t on the slides, is that it took 1 hour to add Nuxeo to the Federated Search demo, and that was with declaring the CMIS Web Services manually within Visual Studio. That took half an hour. For more details on the demo source code a other valuable links, look at my previous post on the The Source Code from the AIIM iECM CMIS Demo.

Documentum, So Close and Still So Far Away with SharePoint
Apologies to Andrew on this post, but I’ve got to get everything out of my system before I learn anything new NDA items about the two products working together. I think EMC is moving in right direction on these products, but they aren’t there yet. That being said, their current approach is easily the best that I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a lot.
Before you read this post, read my EMC World notes on SharePoint Repository Services and Content Services for SharePoint. That should help with the background.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Looking Back on EMC World 2009
It has been a busy week. I think each year my schedule get crazier and crazier while I am here at the conference. As a result, I notice things that make it both easier, and more difficult, for me to accomplish everything that I set out to accomplish at the conference. While it is all still fresh, and I wait for my ride, I want to share some thoughts on the conference.
Before I dive in, I want to say that I recognize that EMC has listened and tried to make the conference better for the Content Management professional. I appreciate the efforts and I hope that they continue to listen to the feedback. No conference is perfect, but they should strive for perfection.
I shared, and gathered, these thoughts with people from EMC employees, partners, and customers. This is a conference evaluation, not on the strategy or direction of EMC. That will come later. Check my EMC World page for all my links.
EMC World 2009: Integrating EMC xPression Customer Communications with Documentum
Document Sciences was bought by EMC a few years back and they have had a fairly solid Component Content Management system. Todd Lauinger who came over with the acquisition, is going to provide a technical overview. Hoping to learn a few tricks.
EMC World 2009: Deep Dive with Content Services for SharePoint
Erin Samuels is going to be presenting on the other half of the SharePoint offering. Andrew was going to speak, but everyone voted against it due to the potential lawsuit after the abuse he doled out yesterday. He is present and will probably speak despite our best efforts.
EMC World 2009: Beyond D6.5, A Product Roadmap
This is being presented by Frank Chao this morning. It is a third day, 8am session, by design. This is typically a useful session that I prefer to see on the first day so I can better plan my conference, but they probably figure that attendance is lower so less people will hear it. This session’s slides are almost never published, so this is a can’t miss.
EMC World 2009: Documentum Performance, Scalability, and Sizing, Part 2
This is the second of two sessions by Ed Bueche. His sessions are must-attends. His sessions last year, part one and part two, are useful references, but as always, this year’s information takes precedence. Be sure to read the first session notes.
EMC World 2009: Documentum Performance, Scalability, and Sizing, Part 1
This is the first of two sessions by Ed Bueche. His sessions are must-attends. His sessions last year, part one and part two, are useful references, but as always, this year’s information takes precedence. Some information that Ed is presenting is available in the Architecture session notes.
EMC World 2009: SharePoint Content Interoperability with Documentum
Andrew Chapman is presenting and is displaying his sense of humor. The Slide title is “COM Based DCML API Implementation Models for Visual Basic Development Environments”. I suspect that is a an actual title from an old Developer Conference presentation.
