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

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

Whitney is Leaving EMC…Why Not to Panic
So, if you missed it, Whitney Tidmarsh announced at the info360 AIIM Conference that she was leaving EMC. In fact, her last day was March 31. She quickly handed keynote duties over to Jeetu Patel who is taking her role and assuming the mantle of Chief Strategy Officer. The first instinct is to panic at… Continue reading

Solving Revenue Cycle Management with Documentum
Right now, I am sitting at a confluence of events. Not earth-shattering events like those impacting the Muslim and Arab worlds right now, but a confluence nonetheless. In my last post, I talked about why it might be worth investing in a partnership with EMC right now, given the right circumstances. That has happened and… Continue reading

While I’ve focused on EMC, most of these issues face every Content Management platform vendor. The challenges of from the Open Source vendors and the emergence of the cloud as a concept broader… Continue reading

I’ve always been a fan of the concept of Content Management in the Cloud and the direction Box has taken in the Content Management space. The established vendors are having to determine… Continue reading

Predictions of Pie for 2011
Well, I’m doing it again, making predictions for the next year. The sad thing is that I am even more cynical about making predictions this year than last. That is why I wrote an article for CMS Wire on Trends for 2011. I’m confident on trends but it is hard to determine if a trend… Continue reading

The ECM Magic Quadrant, The 2010 Edition
So Gartner released the new Magic Quadrant last week. Um….. I’m a little torn here. It is an important piece of research and of value and all that, but… Those in the Leaders quadrant frequently aren’t leading. Too many people look at the report and research the market no further. Enterprise Content Management cannot be… Continue reading

If I Were At Momentum Europe…
Momentum Europe, the 2010 edition in Lisbon, is this week. I can’t be there, mostly because I would have a hard time justifying the cost given how much work I do in Europe (which at last count was $0). I am a little jealous of Lee Smith getting to attend and present at the conference,… Continue reading

Leadership Changes for EMC’s Documentum
This post has been a long time in coming. I’m not talking about the news that has triggered the actual writing of the post, just the themes of the post overall. They should be pretty clear shortly…. That said, let’s hit the headline, Mark Lewis is no longer the President of EMC’s IIG business unit,… Continue reading
