As mentioned in a previous blog in regards to email integration, we just finished a prototype/proof of concept initiative for a manufacturing client looking at content management and specifically Alfresco for the first time. This initiative reminded me of common mistakes made during this phase I have seen when planning any content management system (Alfresco […]
Documentum Client for Outlook, Notes Connector, iPhone and other thoughts on Content Management and Email
One of TSG’s manufacturing clients is currently evaluating Alfresco for control and management of project related documentation. (Proposals, CAD, Specs….). In working with the client on proof of concept efforts this week, we came across a typical requirement for storing email and attachments easily within Alfresco. In the Documentum world, many of our clients typically […]
SharePoint – Adding ECM Structure
While majority of the work we do is Documentum or Alfresco related, we recently had the opportunity to help a client re-structure their SharePoint implementation.

Documentum Consulting and Open Source
I had a good meeting last week with a potential new partner of TSG in regards to how to work together to offer Open Source solutions across our joint customer base. While we have had many firms download our Open Source software (Crown Partners, CSC/FCG, IBM, PWC, Cognizant and EMC themselves to name a few), most […]
Documentum Migration – OpenMigrate for both large migrations and ongoing capture
I was recently at a client struggling with an ECM decision (Alfresco or Documentum) based on connectivity to a scanning data capture solution. Normally the ECM requirement will drive the scanning solution. For this client, capture of data from the image was the driving business justification. After all data was extracted, the client wanted to save […]
Documentum Open Source Software
In talking with a new client last week, the client asked “Why do you do Open Source software for Documentum, a commercial software package?” As the only long-term Documentum partner to offer all of our software as Open Source, we get that question often. I thought I would use this entry to explain our strategy […]
