Tip: Federations and Replicating LDAP Definitions
This was going to be part of my post, Documentum and LDAP, Time to Grow Up, but I decided to pull it out as a short post in the Tips section. Partly because I haven’t posted a Tip in a while, and partly because I think this deserves a little more attention. The issue? A… Continue reading

Documentum and LDAP, Time to Grow Up
[Edit: See Comments for details on the “Why” of the edits.] I’ve spent the last several weeks working on LDAP issues. Some have been simple, others, not so much.

SourceOne, EMC’s Worst Guarded Secret Arrives

License Audits…Enforcing Ethics
Ethics. In the consulting business, the perception of your level of ethics can break you. I haven’t seen a lot people gain work because of their perceived ethics, but I have seen several lose work. We all like to assume that the person across the table, phone, or email will act in a fair and… 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

CMIS and SharePoint
This is a critical subject. As I said when the CMIS standard was released, the key to its success will be vendor adoption. This means more than just signing off on the standard. The vendors have to incorporate it into their message and start to show clients, partners, and analysts how they plan to support… Continue reading
