Last year I posted an article on how CenterStage was the Latest ex-Collaboration Tool from EMC. Turns out I understated the case. EMC isn’t going to be building a collaboration tool, at least not one purposely built to encourage collaboration.
In many ways the announcements at this year’s EMC World just reaffirmed the direction set last year. Last year I was sad. This year, I’m starting to lose my sense of humor.
Of all my posts in this series, this is the one that is probably the least needed. I say this because it looks like EMC is some of this now. It does need to be said though, just so EMC know that we still care, and in case I am guessing wrong. The themes for the Architecting of Content Applications is closely related to the Application Separation topic and in many ways, is the complement to the Focus on the Core edition.
I’m going to stay away from some specific feature requests for applications. I would want to do complete run-downs on any app before I did that. I want to be a little more strategic in my advice.
As always, please feel free to add/comment.
Finally, collaboration. David LeStrat, the manager of Magellan, will hopefully answer some of my questions.
