Federated Search versus Rolling Migration

Migrating to Veeva – Reduce Risk, Stress and Cost with a Gradual Migration
Too often, migrating to Veeva Vault can be seen as a massive undertaking where the migration effort means moving all the content, integrations and people to the new platform in a migrate all-at-once “Big Bang” approach. Given the effort to move all the different components, along with training the users on a new system, it is easy to see why so many legacy systems (like Documentum DCM) are still around today as their owners can, when confronted with this daunting task, choose to “wait ...

Combine, Split and Update PDF documents with only a Web Browser
In many of the Case Management scenarios we see at our clients, particularly in the insurance industry, requirements often include functionality that allow the user to easily combine, split or correct PDF documents from within the web browser. Most often, users want the ability to combine multiple documents or selected pages into one document in order to easily send documentation out to 3rd parties via email or other means. When documents are ingested into the system via a scanning tool or 3rd ... [Continue Reading]

Veeva Vault – Documentum Integration Options
One of the issues our Veeva Vault and other document management clients often struggle with is searching for content across Veeva Vault and other existing repositories, such as Documentum. Scenarios like sharing manufacturing specifications that are stored in a Documentum repository with Veeva-based eTMF and Submissions applications are difficult to support as users will typically require separate searches against the individual repositories. This post will talk about how a ... [Continue Reading]
FileNet – How to retire in weeks rather than months

ECM Sales Myths for 2019
In the hunt for “what to talk to customers about next”, we often see many of the ECM vendor sales teams get behind a concept, or technology, that can be marketed easily but isn’t always something clients eventually do or are successful implementing. For this post, we will list some of the myths (including a couple “Lord of the Rings” references where appropriate) that we are seeing, or have seen, to help provide clarity on what might sound good but is more a sales related myth than ...

Migrating to Alfresco – Reducing Risk, Stress and Cost with a Rolling Migration
Too often, migrating to Alfresco can be seen as a massive undertaking where the migration effort means moving all the content, integrations and people to the new platform in a migrate all at once, "Big Bang” approach.

Alfresco – Application Performance Monitoring
One problem we consistently see at Alfresco clients is the inability of IT support resources to respond to user complaints that "the system is slow".

This post will present our thoughts on including an Application Performance Monitoring tool along with Alfresco to proactively be able to address the health of ... [Continue Reading]
FileNet and CMOD – Will IBM finally sell them and potentially buy Box?
One of our more controversial posts over the last couple of years was back in 2017 “FileNet – Is IBM Planning on Selling it”. We had some interesting follow-up – particularly on LinkedIn from some folks at IBM that were not to happy with our analysis. At the time we stated that “we would expect that IBM would sell off FileNet and potentially Content Manager within the next two years”. With two years coming up in May and the recent news of IBM selling off Notes and buying Red ... [Continue Reading]
