EMC has officially announced the Documentum version 6 “D6”; the new version of their ECM platform. Alan Pelz-Sharpe, an analist who closely follows the ECM market has made some interesting comments about the challenges customers face with this new version :
… EMC|Documentum’s long awaited “D6” was officially announced last week — though of course it has actually been announced by the firm many times this year at different conferences. Although this official release fills in some of the blanks, there are few surprises. That’s not to say this is not a significant event for the sometime market leader – it’s a very big event for them – only in the past what Documentum did was a signal for all to follow. The tide has turned somewhat, and Documentum under the ownership of EMC finds itself as much a follower as a leader these days. …
… Just like IBM/FileNet’s P8 before them, it will take years, not month,s before the impact of this is fully felt. …
