The ECM Report looks at... DocuShare's Workflow and BPM

"The DocuShare CPX workflow module is ambitious and claims to be a full BPM tool; but this is stretching it a little as it is really a human/document-centric system that does not have the EAI/Data-centric capabilities we would expect in a full BPM offering.

Documentum jumps iECM gun

29-Sep-2005   --  

After co-chairing a meeting of AIIM's iECM working group 2 days ago, EMC Documentum and Adobe announced today that they are working on "new infrastructure" to combine Documentum's ECM tools with Adobe's Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) technology, and that this effort, "will also support the emerging iECM standard." Unfortunately, this release confuses things a bit since the iECM group decided that initially it would not begin work on a specific standard. Also, it remains quite unclear whether XMP -- which encapsulates a file's metadata within the file itself -- will work broadly for inter-ECM repository exchange, even if it seems immediately applicable to standards like PDF/A. Finally, the iECM group remains formative and still recruiting heavyweights like IBM and Microsoft, who -- along with current participants Oracle and FileNet -- should have much to add to the discussion.
