Looking Back on Pie’s 2011 Predictions
I have been busy these past few months. How busy? Just look at my post rate. It hasn’t been for lack of topics, I’ve just been burning the candle at both ends. Well, I’ve been on “vacation” for the past week and feel rested enough to take some time to write. Coincidently enough, I have… Continue reading

Documentum Patch Process, Adding a Touch of Common Sense
I haven’t been writing a lot as I’ve been going crazy at work and nothing has jumped out at me as time sensitive. I’ve starting writing some “expert” blogs for AIIM on Enterprise Content Management, their label, so you can get a small fix over in the AIIM Community. It is the summer and things… Continue reading

Folders, A Nutritious Part of Your Content Management Diet
Sean Hederman of Signate Document Management wrote a rebuttal of my AIIM article defending folders. He admits a bias as he works for a Document Management vendor built around search. I thought of writing a short response saying that he missed the point of my article and that he had nothing to rebut, but where… Continue reading

Oracle Buys FatWire, Now What?
If you missed it, Oracle bought FatWire yesterday. Whether or not this was a shock depends on who you ask. In fact, I suspect that the tension of the sale has been rippling though events for several months. This acquisition raises several questions, such as, does anyone care, that is, outside of the FatWire install… Continue reading

EMC Goes Mobile, Creating a Redundant Déjà Vu Experience
One of the strangest things to happen at EMC World was the announcement by EMC of a mobile client for the iPad. It is scheduled to arrive in Q3 of 2011 (I made them commit to a specific Q3). Some people even said July 15, but I’d be more than happy with an arrival before… Continue reading

Collaboration, Just a Documentum Side Effect
Last year I posted an article on how CenterStage was the Latest ex-Collaboration Tool from EMC. Turns out I understated the case. EMC isn’t going to be building a collaboration tool, at least not one purposely built to encourage collaboration. In many ways the announcements at this year’s EMC World just reaffirmed the direction set… Continue reading

Documentum has a Vision Again, How About Execution?
Last year I was pretty strong in my criticism of EMC’s lack of vision or strategy in the Content Management space. In a way I should thank them because it inspired me to write a post on the Future of Content Management that was later received fairly well at Gilbane Boston and info360. Of course,… Continue reading

Unforgiven, Reflecting on Momentum 2011, Vegas
Time for the overdue Momentum evaluation post. I write this one every year because it was my concern about the loss of Momentum that first inspired me to start this blog. Normally I write this post between the end of the conference and my plane. This year I had only a couple of hours due… Continue reading

EMC World 2011: Effective Information Management for Legacy Application Retirement
It is Jeroen talking. Do I really need to give any other reason for attending? As I am missing the beginning of the partner conference, I need one. I am interested to hear their approach with xDB for this problem. They conceived of it just before the last EMC World, but it wasn’t fully flushed… Continue reading

EMC World 2011: Documentum Architecture Part 2
This is the second part of Jeroen’s Architecture series. The first half was fun, but this half promises to be more so as a live, crazy demo has been promised. This one is also covering the Next Generation Information Server (NGIS). Continue reading
