Brilliant Leap

Documentum earns its way back onto the ECM shortlist- Will anyone notice?

EMC will report its fourth quarter results in less than two weeks and the big question on our minds is whether EMC CEO Joe Tucci and/or EMC CFO David Goulden will say anything about Documentum, Captiva, DocSciences or any of IIG's (Information Intelligence Group's) products.

They should, even if IIG's bottom line hasn't yet begun to grow.

I say this because after years of doing everything but telling its non-Government, non-Insurance/Financial, and non-Energy Enterprise Content Management customers to get lost, IIG  is finally introducing offerings that might delight a larger portion of its install base. Not only that, but the end-user (which EMC calls the "new user") is in IIG's line of sight again..

Yes, boys and girls, IIG is finally acting more like a software company that has something to offer its customers, in its own right, rather than an ugly step-child of a hardware/storage company that happens to sell software.

Hooray for IIG president Rick Devenuti; he's gotten a lot done since he took charge in October of 2010.

His team has delivered:

Monday funnies...The Cloud, the cloud or is it vapor?

Welcome to a new week. Why not start it off with a laugh?

So, instead of some long post about ECM, CMIS, EMC or big data, I thought I'd share a video about the cloud. It's a few years old, but it's hilarious. There should be moments like this at every tech conference.
