Very excited that I get to see Cornelia Davis speak this year. Last year I had to go catch a train during her presentation so I wasn’t going to miss this year. Conelia used to be part of Documentum (eRoom before that) and is now a Senior Technologist with EMC’s CTO Office. This topic is pretty important because I think that this framework is influencing the Next Generation Content Server (NGIS).

EMC World 2011: Documentum Performance and Scalability, Part 2
This is the second half of Ed Bueche’s annual performance session. This is a standard must attend of every Momentum and I’m not going anywhere.
EMC World 2011: Documentum Performance and Scalability, Part 1
This is Ed Bueche’s annual performance session. This is a standard must attend of every Momentum. Coffee in-hand I am ready to listen to Ed impart his wisdom upon us.
EMC World 2011: Jeetu’s Documentum Update
Time for Jeetu Patel’s keynote. Expecting some more details on yesterday’s announcements. Not expecting anything earth-shattering, just some more insight into what questions I need to be asking next. Not going to repeat details from Rick’s keynote in these notes.
EMC World 2011: xCP & Documentum Platform Product Roadmap
Now John McCormick, Sr Director of Product Management, is going to give the roadmap. Very refreshingly to see xCP and Documentum listed separately again. Going to be interesting to see what dates they are willing to throw out there. Lots of real work to some of what they are doing.
Be sure to remember the Disclaimer at the bottom of this post. It was meant for posts like this one.
EMC World 2011: Momentum Keynote
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.
EMC World 2011: Documentum (IIG) Architecture, Part 1
This is a promising session, even if Jeroen had to rename the slide from IIG Architecture to Documentum architecture in front of our eyes. As to why, first, it is Victor’s old session which was also a must attend. Second, Jeroen van Rotterdam, the Chief Architect of the IIG Division, is always a fun and entertaining presenter.
EMC World 2011: Documentum Web Services Overview and Strategy
Ahson Ahmad and Norrie Quinn are starting things off this Momentum talking about the Web Services. Not expecting too much new, but you never know. Hopefully some good information on the REST interfaces.
EMC World 2011: Rules of the Road
Another year, another EMC World. There are a few things I am tracking that promises to make this year interesting. I can’t really share yet, but trust me, you’ll want to stay tuned.
We are still a week away, but it is going to be an incredibly busy week for me, so I want to get this out now. For those that are unfamiliar, I pretty much type notes at every sessions and hit publish at the end of the session, essentially sharing my session notes with you. These rules are very similar to last years Rules (I even cut-and-paste for a draft), but I’ve updated a bit as I do every year.
All “live” posts that follow these rules will start EMC World 2011:. This is to clearly identify them for everyone. If I write a post before/during/after the conference that doesn’t adhere to what I am laying-out here, it won’t have that prefix.
Disclaimers
I’m going to be running a basic disclaimer in all my posts. If for some reason I forget to paste it in, this disclaimer applies to all EMC World 2011: prefixed posts and you can be sure I’ll be adding the disclaimer as soon as I notice that it is missing. This is because I will be writing the posts during/after sessions and I will hear things that I may misconstrue or that talk about future events.
All information in this post was gathered from the presenters and presentation. It does not reflect my opinion unless clearly indicated (Italics in parenthesis). Any errors are most likely from my misunderstanding a statement or imperfectly recording the information. Updates to correct information are reflected in red, but will not be otherwise indicated.
All statements about the future of EMC products and strategy are subject to change at any time due to a large variety of factors.
As indicated, if I learn later that something I posted was incorrect, I will endeavor to correct it, but it may not be immediate.
Tip: A Documentum Folder’s Existential Crisis
Sometimes you run across something and you figure, that won’t ever happen again. Then it does, repeatedly. You are then reminded of the fact that any random event is possible when presented with enough opportunities to occur.
Well, I’ve been living that world for a while and I think I got to the root of the problem, a bug in Documentum. Not just any bug (or design constraint), but one that requires high-throughput and a little luck to reproduce. The existence of a bug really isn’t the issue, all large systems have them. It is the journey to discovery that is the “fun” part.
