The Challenge of CMIS
I started this to talk about some of the things out there, but there is sooo much that I am drawing the line. Kas is writing some good things on CMIS as he attempts to grok it. Others, like Jon Marks, are grappling with CMIS as well. They raise some excellent points that probably deserve… Continue reading

I’m going to cover some of the background and non-technical challenges in putting this demonstration together so that you can better appreciate what went… 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

Enter CMIS, a Proposed ECM-SOA Standard
I am almost too excited for words. Every thought I have is leading down ten different paths. You may ask why. Simple, they finally announced an ECM-SOA standard.

SharePoint and Documentum, Patience is a Virtue
Well, the time has come to talk about the elephant in the room, SharePoint. It was a slow conference for me regarding SharePoint. I didn’t attend any normal sessions on it as I was usually being pulled away by other items. I did get a lot of time with Andrew, Erin, Craig (yes, Craig), and… Continue reading

The Future of Documentum Security in the SOA World
A month or so ago, I asked people to post questions that I would try and get answered at EMC World. Every question had to do with security. Unfortunately, I was unable to track down all the right people to ask the right questions in a timely fashion. Part of this was my fault as… Continue reading

The Rumors of My Promotion are Greatly Exaggerated
I was just relaxing with my first cup of coffee, reading the morning news and blogs, when I stumbled across this post by James saying that Laurence Hart will be the lead of a new standards body focused on ECM. The quick answer is that it is not true. James heard it through the grapevine,… Continue reading
