FileNet, Documentum unveil offerings Spotlighting collaboration and compliance, FileNet and Documentum will roll out ECM (enterprise content management) products this week at the Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM) 2004 expo in New York.FileNet plans to unveil TCM (Team Collaboration Manager), an integrated platform for collaboration management. TCM shares a common architecture and a single repository with the existing FileNet ECM/BPM (business process management) framework, which prevents separate silos of content, said Tom Deutsch, director of product marketing at FileNet. “What makes this different is that it is not a silo, not a stand-alone application we bought from someone else and integrated,” Deutsch said. Because content in the team space is the same content as in the repository, records management policies can be applied on any individual item in the team space, for example. In addition, TCM can version and lock down discussion threads and e-mail attachments, and collaboration sessions can be declared as records without users being trained on records management policies.Because workers collaborate around some type of written artifact, tightly coupling collaboration with ECM can help “create efficiency during the content- or document-creation process. That is the way folks work,” said Matthew Cain, an analyst at Meta Group. Documentum will use AIIM 2004 to launch its Compliance Manager, a Web-based application for securely creating, storing, and distributing information in an audited environment. Compliance Manager also allows users to develop and monitor content-related processes in accordance with regulatory requirements, company officials said. Compliance Manager was built on the Documentum DocControl Manager product and leverages the Documentum ECM platform. Also at the show, Percussion Software will provide a demonstration of its Lyrix 2 content-integration product for Lotus Domino. Software Development
