Documentum to Alfresco Migration – What about Solutions?
Published February 1, 2013 Active Wizard , Alfresco , D2 , Documentum , HPI , WeWebU , xCP 7 CommentsThe dominant theme at EMC World and Momentum Europe was a focus on solutions.

Published November 7, 2012 Active Wizard , Activiti , Alfresco , HPI , Open Source , Workflow 7 CommentsTags: 21 cfr part 11, change control, compliance, regulated
TSG has over 15 years experience building systems to manage controlled documents. Most of these systems have been built on top of Documentum for clients in various industries including Pharmaceuticals, Nuclear Energy, Manufacturing and others. When talking to these clients about their thoughts on moving from Documentum to Alfresco, the inevitable conversation comes up: “How do we manage our controlled documents?”
One of our products, Active Wizard, is an electronic forms and workflow product that is well suited for controlled document systems. With the help of a TSG client in the pharmaceutical industry, version 5.0 of Active Wizard will support both Alfresco and Documentum repositories.
