EMC World 2012 – May 22nd – Jeetu Patel and Rohit Ghai Keynote – A Roadmap for Transforming Your World

You are here: Home / Cloud Computing / EMC World 2012 – May 22nd – Jeetu Patel and Rohit Ghai Keynote – A Roadmap for Transforming Your World

May 22, 2012

The Technical Keynote is on Tuesday this year.  Rohit is VP Products, Jeetu is CSO and CMO.  This post will present our notes and thoughts on the presentation. The presentation was very consistent presentation with Rick’s Keynote yesterday.

The presentation focused on business transformation through product innovation.  It was consistent with the message that the push for Governance from IT is not always in line with the needs of business users.  Similar to Rick’s keynote, the initial focus is on the verticle markets – Financial Services, Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical, Transportation.

New User – patterns of work have materially changed.

Particular progress for the new user included:

  • Documentum D2 3.1  – 4.0 coming soon
  • Documentum Mobile 1.1 – 1.2 soon
  • Acquired Syncplicity – pushing as a platform for liberating information NOT in Documentum (mentioned SharePoint and Salesforce)

Presentation included a D2 Demo with a big push for widget control.  We’re slightly confused on how D2 addresses the “New User” as it seems more like a portal play, something that hasn’t really worked within the content management space in the past.

What’s Next – Mobile First

  1. Jeetu makes right point that it is not about pushing desktop functions to Mobile.  Not a porting exercise.  We would agree with this take.  Like the metaphor that the desktop is for “cooking” documents, the tablet and phone are used for dining and snacking.
  2. Big Data meets content and social collaboration – Jeetu is proposing that content management is moving from a browse metaphor (think folder navigation) to a search metaphore (think Google) to a recommend metaphor (think facebook).  We’d agree with the first jump but would disagree with the last jump to recommend.  Would disagree that clients are requesting for structured content managed and governed in tools like Documentum.

Note:  Seem to hear buzzwords every year – social collaboration, content analytics, twitter, facebook…..understand that IIG wants to get there but not sure that it is customer driven.

Push again about Productivity and Security Syncplicity Demo Presentation ended with a demonstration from Syncplicity

Overall Thoughts

Jeetu and Rohit have an interesting presentation challenge in that they have to tie their roadmap to the actual product releases as well as buzzwords from EMC.  Buzzword bingo for this presentation included transform, cloud (public, private, hybrid), collaboration, social and mobile just to name a few.

Good things we saw:

  • Consistency with previous years EMC World
  • Continued development of mobile client
  • Continued capabilities in OnDemand – Cloud
  • Life Sciences – First Momentum in years with something specific for Life Sciences – would anticipate that D2 has helped pursue this solution.

Some Challenges

  • Connecting “New User” to D2  (need to get that mobile play in there)
  • Life Sciences – as a group that has been long-term Documentum users and have lived through DCM and esubmission previous product offerings.

What we didn’t hear but heard about in years past

  • MyDocumentum
  • SharePoint

Let me know your thoughts below.

    “… as it seems more like a portal play, something that hasn’t really worked within the content management play in the past.”

    Would you be able to provide some further insight into this? – e.g. I have always wondered why Documentum Portlets were discontinued.

    Thanks

      I think the portal issue was more just an overall portal market thing. Remember when portals were a big deal, doesn’t seem like they were ever really successful. SharePoint comes along as well and introduces yet another portal. Internet SAAS options that are portals – just too many options for any one platform, particularly from an ECM member, to really be successful.

      We were talking about it between sessions, just seems like a technology users would like for a bit but wasn’t worth the investment.

    A couple questions about the Mobile.

    1) Is it still free?
    2) Do you have to be VPNed in to the network if you don’t want to expose your environment outside of a firewall?

      Anhtuan –

      1) Can confirm that it is still free (just mentioned in a roadmap session this morning)
      2) Do need some type of VPN if Documentum Applicaiton server is behind firewall
