Many of the more popular posts over the years have been surrounding Migrating from Documentum to Alfresco and other comparison posts. While some of the differences are obvious (Big Public Company/Division of EMC versus Private Company, 20+ Years old versus 10 Years Old.....), for this post, we thought we would summarize some of the not so obvious differences for clients considering migrating from Documentum to Alfresco from both a technology and culture perspective. ...

Alfresco or Documentum Collaborative Document Reviews with OpenAnnotate
Whenever we give a demo of OpenAnnotate, clients always ask, "What happens when multiple users need to review a document at the same time?"

This makes the review process in OpenAnnotate more collaborative. This post will outline some things to look for when evaluating your options ... [Continue Reading]
Documentum – Momentum EMC World 2014 Recap – Some bunts, hits as well as some swings
In talking about our overall thoughts of EMC World and Momentum 2014, I thought I would resurrect our baseball analogy from where we felt Documentum was too often swinging for the fences with grandiose product plans and relationships that were turning into more strikeouts than runs. As we mentioned in 2013, we were impressed with the new focus on more practical product development plan and roadmaps that were being accomplished. ... [Continue Reading]
