Ecm configuration
ECM (Enterprise content management ) - is a set of technologies used to capture, store, preserve and deliver content and documents and content related to organizational processes. ECM tools allow the management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information exists.
ECM employed the technologies and strategies of content management to address business process issues, such as records and auditing, knowledge sharing, personalization and standardization of content, and so on.
Content management technology vendor Stellent has announced that it will support FAST as the internal search engine within its different content management tools. The move follows similar transitions by Documentum and others away from Verity to FAST. Stellent has traditionally relied heavily on Verity technology, and as CMS Report readers know, Stellent customers have often grumbled over the tightness of that coupling. I should stress that Stellent isn't dumping Verity (now owned by Autonomy) -- just that it is offering new options. This reflects a growing decoupling of ECM systems from specific enterprise search products, which should please your architects. But as always, the devil lives in the details, and support for multiple search engines could mean more configuration effort at implementation time.
Like most "ECM" vendors, EMC|Documentum struggles to keep up with the features available in pure-play Web CMS tools. Yesterday, the company announced the forthcoming (Q4, actually) arrival of a new module called "Page Builder." We review Page Builder in the latest version of The CMS Report. Like similar offerings from competitors, Page Builder is designed to support drag-and-drop template editing and editorial configuration of dynamic elements. But the version we saw -- to be sure, still in beta -- seemed quite underbaked, and there was still no way to avoid Documentum's very own query language ("DQL"). Making their Web Publisher product more business user friendly is a step in the right direction for Documentum, but I remain unconvinced that the company truly understands contemporary web standards...
