ECM in the Pantheon of Content Management
“May you live in interesting times” is reported to be a Chinese curse. Well, in the world of Content Management, we are in interesting times. In the last week, I have read about how ECM is growing in stature and read a call for the killing of ECM. Scary thing, I think that if Peter… Continue reading

ECM Industry Goals: Move the ECM Industry Forward
I started this on Monday discussing the importance of goals in general, using the setting of goals for yourself as a starting point. The same logic applies to a company, and its industry, as well.

A while back, I discussed the Three Fundamental Use Cases for CMIS. Since then, there have been some additional thoughts on this topic. Since CMIS has been officially submitted as a standard to OASIS 🙂 I thought I would look at a couple of those thoughts. The first was the EMC presentation on CMIS and… Continue reading

ECM and CMS Living In Harmony
So I ranted a week ago about the term CMS. I was more upset how people used “CMS” than the term itself. Assuming that the term has legs, how does it fit in the grand scheme of things, like the world of ECM? So today, instead of tearing things apart, I thought I would try… Continue reading

Dissecting a Documentum-SharePoint “Comparison”
Saw a tweet today that was pretty exciting. It was referencing a “comparison” between SharePoint and Documentum. I was initially excited. I’d love to see CenterStage and SharePoint compared. I compared SharePoint to eRoom a couple of years back and wasn’t planning on a comparison with CenterStage until the database/list functionality was ported over. My… Continue reading
