Documentum, SharePoint, Alfresco – Document Control for Life Sciences

We 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.  Continue reading ‘Documentum, SharePoint, Alfresco – Document Control for Life Sciences’

Documentum Migration to Alfresco – Buy or Subscribe and business value

I had a good conversation with a CIO friend of mine last week regarding his recent mobile framework purchasing decision.  In purchasing a mobile framework, the CIO and his team decided, given the immaturity of mobile frameworks, to only buy a 3 year subscription.  Their thinking was that after three years and more maturity within the mobile frameworks marketplace, they would determine if the current mobile framework was still the right choice (market leader, trending upwards) and might require them to make a change.  This subject got us talking about the Documentum Purchase versus Alfresco Subscription model.
