Documentum xPlore, The New “FAST” Search
Taking a break from talking about the economics and future of Content Management to look back at the reality we are facing today. For all of the need to start moving to the future, we all still have problems that have to be solved today. One of my most challenging problems in Documentum is full-text… Continue reading

Quality of Documentum Over the Years
I recently received an email from someone whom I will call…Socrates. He asked a question and I wanted to share it for discussion publicly.

The Federal Documentum User’s Group, November 2007
So I spent a good chunk of today at the local Documentum User’s Group meeting. Formerly a regional/local group, it has been recast as the Federal EMC Content Management and Archiving User Group. This isn’t a major problem as it doesn’t seem to actually be federally focused. I encourage all local DC users to attend.… Continue reading
