We have had a couple of clients, one on Documentum and one on Alfresco, work through some production volume issues over the past week. This post will discuss the topic of volume testing for ECM solutions and present some thoughts on when and how to implement.
Documentum or Alfresco – ECM Audit Trail – thoughts on how to increase user activity
I had a great conversation with a long-time Documentum client in regards to the need for an audit trail and reporting capabilities from his document repository. While it is something we have done in the past, I thought it would make for a good post to share that experience as well as some of the […]
