Redefining the Core Tech of ECM
For several months, I’ve been tinkering with an idea in my head. I’ve watched as EMC and other large ECM vendors fell further behind in the WCM space. For every advancement that has been made, there were losses to the market. It is at the point that if you aren’t deploying massive websites to server… Continue reading

A Tale of Two Documentum User Groups
In the last month, I attended two Documentum User Group meetings. They were very different experiences, beneficial in different ways. The NY group was fun and was a chance to talk to lots of different users I am going to do something slightly different this post, I’m going to focus on the positives. Let’s see… Continue reading

Forrester Makes Gartner Look Inclusive
A couple months ago, Gartner released their annual ECM Magic Quadrant (which I looked at). Sure enough, being an odd year, Forrester released their ECM Wave. I see the pros of waiting two years as the larger vendors take that long, or longer, for a significant release. On the other hand, you have longer to… Continue reading

The 2009 Magic Quadrant for ECM
[Note that my post on the 2010 Quadrant is now available.] Thanks to the Documentum voters splitting their time between two topics, discussing the recent Gartner MQ for ECM is today’s topic. The voting was an interesting little diversion that I’ll revisit later. I’m going to talk about the report here. The recent controversy around… Continue reading

EMC and Web Content Management
I made a few observations the other week about the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management that came out recently. I, and others, criticized what it was measuring (though one blogger defended the MQ). I made the following comment in my dissection: Personally, I think EMC (Documentum) and IBM (FileNet) are Niche Players in… Continue reading

Am I Buying a WCM Solution or Stock?
The Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management came out for the first time this month. I say the first time because it was always a Market Scope before the 2009 report. If you look at it, you can learn many things. The one thing you won’t learn is if any of the products are right… Continue reading

Stage 1 Complete, Documentum Helps Developers
I’ve been meaning to talk about the new Documentum Developer Edition for a while now. I’ve referred to it in previous posts and twittered about it. More recently, Marko over at Big Men on Content has talked about the benefits of freely available ECM platforms for development and proof-of-concepts. I thought some spare vacation time,… Continue reading

EMC Opens Their Eyes and Has a Vision
Went to the EMC Federal Forum yesterday here in Washington, DC. I enjoy this event, if for no other reason than it is one of the few times a year that EMC people actually come to my town. They’ve realized that it is easier to just talk to me than to try and avoid me,… Continue reading

EMC World 2009, The Case of the Incredibly Shrinking Momentum
This year was the second year where I “felt” that there were less Documentum sessions than the older traditional Momentum conferences. This is strange as there are more components to Content Management and Archiving, Documentum, than there were even two years ago. Luckily, I have the conference handbooks for the last three EMC World conferences… Continue reading

EMC and Mark Lewis’ Focus on Return on Information
In my previous post, I shared a copy of Mark Lewis’ CMA keynote presentation from EMC World 2009. It made me realize that I needed to crank out this post on EMC’s vision and Mark Lewis’ delivery of that vision. This is going to be a little devoid of facts for a couple of reasons. … Continue reading
