Published April 22, 2013 Active Wizard , Alfresco , D2 , Documentum , ECM Landscape , HPI , Migrations , Open Source , Webtop 1 CommentWe wanted to thank Rich Medina from Doculabs for a nice mention of our Complaince Solution/HPI in his post on How to select a Life Sciences Document Managment Solution. We agree with Rich that “the emergence of non-Documentum options as serious candidates to manage controlled documents in the life sciences industry” is something we are seeing more and more. This post will provide some of our thoughts on the Life Sciences Compliance decision process and add to some of Rich’s thoughts along with links to previous relevant posts.

This post will compare and contrast development environments and philosophy with both Alfresco and Documentum.
Documentum Upgrade to 6.7 – a simple approach
Published November 29, 2012 Content Server , D2 , D6.5 , D6.7 , Documentum , Upgrades , Webtop , xCP , xPlore 2 CommentsBack in July, we wrote a lessons learned post regarding upgrading from Documentum 6.5 to Documentum 6.7. We have a client that recently completed, by himself, a Documentum upgrade from 6.5 SP3 to 6.7 SP1. While TSG often assists clients in the Documentum upgrade process, some clients are very capable of performing upgrades on their own if they chose a simple approach. This post will share some of the client’s thoughts on the upgrade and how the combination of TSG products as well as good knowledge of his environment made the upgrade relatively painless. The only issue the client had was due to some bad documentation in regards to the xPlore upgrade that will be shared as well.

Customize User Management Columns in Webtop’s Administration Node
Published November 9, 2012 Documentum , Tech Tip , Webtop Leave a CommentTags: Webtop, WDK, Administration, Column Preference, Customization, Development
Documentum’s out of box Webtop allows for its administrative users to manage groups, and the users that belong to each group, while within Webtop’s user management section. As a default, the groups and its users are presented in a datagrid along with individual descriptions, if provided. Sometimes, however, clients will find it useful to expose additional user information on the datagrid (such as an email) to accompany the name and description columns already implemented. Such a task is possible with a few tweaks to the GroupList component and its dependent files.

Documentum D2 4.0 – Initial TSG Review
Published October 11, 2012 D2 , Documentum , Webtop 7 CommentsAt EMC World and in subsequent marketing efforts, Documentum has created quite a buzz around the D2 v4.0 release. Documentum is promoting that D2’s powerful configuration services can deliver a modern client interface while simplifying the application implementation via configuration rather than code. Many Documentum users struggle with any new Documentum release in regards to whether the new product is worth the cost to procure and effort to implement. This blog will be an overview of our initial review efforts for D2 v4.0 functionality as well as provide a link to our initial whitepaper in the downloads section. We also have a video posted in our learning zone for review.
Documentum Maintenance – 21% and rising….
Published October 3, 2012 Documentum , ECM Landscape , SharePoint , Webtop , D2 6 CommentsWe received an interesting email from a client last week asking us about Documentum maintenance. While we have posted articles on smart ways to manage Documentum maintenance contracts, we were somewhat surprised that the inquiry was in response to a maintenance bill, that without any explanation, increased maintenance to 21% from the usual 18%. The client mentioned that all NEW licenses required a non-negotiable 23% maintenance because “the product is so critical in customer’s environments and this level gives 24 x 7 support”. For 27%, the client will get a named resource assigned to the account. This post will discuss our thoughts and present some best practices on how to best manage Documentum maintenance contracts.
