What made AIIM valuable in this role was their… Continue reading

After the community protested that we need the CIP, AIIM backed off from closing the CIP and committed to updating it to reflect the changes in the industry since the CIP’s inception.

Defining an Documentum Architect, An Open Letter
In the next few weeks, a number of Documentum Architects will be gathering in Pleasanton, CA to define a Documentum Architect’s job description. I use the term Architect loosely because I imagine that for every true Architect that has been invited, at least one Documentum Developer has been invited as well. I could be wrong,… Continue reading
