TSG recently completed the movement from an onsite Documentum installation to Documentum in the OpenText cloud for one of our long-time clients in a highly regulated industry. The client had considered Documentum SAAS from Dell VMWare cloud back when VMWare was part of EMC. This also wasn’t the newly announced OpenText partnership with Google or […]

Supersized Documentum Migrations and Upgrades Two Billion Documents and Counting
Two weeks ago we completed several of the largest Documentum migrations and upgrades we’ve ever seen.

Documentum Upgrades – Handling eSignatures in Documentum 6.6+
Starting in Documentum Content Server 6.6, using the eSignature mechanism uses iText rather than PDF Fusion to create the electronic signature page.
