Documentum/Momentum EMC World Prep
The agenda for Momentum, the Documentum portion of EMC World, has recently been posted (http://www.emcworld.com/images/Momentum_2011_Agenda-master4webpage.pdf). For this post, we thought we would highlight things we (TSG) or our typical clients attend.

Momentum 2010 Recap – Virtual Review – Current Priorities for IIG
