Content Management, Platforms or Solutions?
The Content Management industry is rife with contradictions. The biggest of which is that the business just wants solutions to their problems while IT wants a common platform from an established player to make integrations and upgrades less risky. I’m not sure how we solve this problem and I am tired of watching the pendulum… Continue reading

Leveraging CMIS to Create Strong Business Applications
One of the things that I missed during my tour at AIIM was working with partners. I’m not talking about consultants, though I missed them as well. I missed the technology vendors. When I was at the Alfresco Summits last month, I was able to see a lot of vendors creating some cool technology to… Continue reading

Documentum Renewal: Application Separation
This is the first in a series that I am writing as a Christmas present to EMC. I want them to think about Documentum as a platform for the future and not on just adding on chunks that can be used to drive revenue. Revenue is important, but investment now means revenue in the future.… Continue reading

Three Fundamental CMIS Use Cases
I’ve been meaning to get this done for a while. Over the last year, I’ve run into people that saw a need for CMIS as a whole, but didn’t think that it mattered for them. Usually, the reason was that they only saw one use case for CMIS. Well, there are three fundamental use cases… Continue reading

Craig Randall recently posted how he was presenting on Building Content-Enabled Applications at EMC World, at least until he was downed by injury. Regardless of his injury, this is a topic of great interest to me and I had a few conversations over the past year with him on the topic. I wanted to chime… Continue reading

Others, like Jon Marks, are grappling with CMIS as well. They raise some excellent points that probably deserve… Continue reading

Answering James on CMIS
Back in December, James asked a few good questions regarding CMIS. I thought I would take a minute to answer them as best I could, with apologies for the delay. Any insight into making my answers more complete are welcome. I am only on the outside looking into the process. Continue reading

Vendor Support for CMIS
As I discussed yesterday, I’ve been waiting a long time for the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standard. There is still a fair amount of excitement out there as more people join the conversation. I’m still excited, but the excitement is beginning to be tempered by reality. There are two primary factors to standard adoption:… Continue reading

Sailing with EMC’s Magellan
I’ve been debating on whether to talk about Magellan or SharePoint next. It was a heck of a decision, but I quickly resolved it when I decided to do both. I pulled out my notes, did a little research, and remembered the disclaimer. This is unreleased software. Things may change before the Magellan Beta, much… Continue reading

Enterprise Content Management 2.0, Still in Beta
The Big Men on Content, Lee to be precise, recently joined the ECM 2.0 discussion, stating that they are going to wait for EMC’s sp2 before they jump on-board. That could be a long wait. After all, we are still in Beta as far as I am concerned. This was prompted by a reading OpenText’s… Continue reading
