Web 2.0 enables new ways for people to work and collaborate. However, security and compliance concerns are preventing many organizations from fully embracing Web 2.0 technologies or worse, leaving them open to risks as end users experiment with applications on their own. In addition, the volume of incoming information from Web 2.0 applications is equally threatening and requires that systems scale to meet the increased performance demands of a Web 2.0 world.
“The explosion of digital content combined with the ease of use of Web 2.0 and social computing fuel users’ expectations for how technology should work and how they should access information. As a result, IT is faced with a new challenge of meeting these heightened expectations while providing a secure information infrastructure,” said Melissa Webster, Program Vice President, Content & Digital Media Technologies at IDC. “The next generation of ECM needs to provide business users with appealing and flexible content-enabled solutions while ensuring that IT continues to maintain control by mitigating these new elements of risk.”
Documentum ECM 6.5 introduces several key innovations that deliver a rich Web 2.0 user experience and enhanced XML capabilities, while delivering improved enterprise performance and scalability, federated records management as well as accelerated transactional business processes. For the first time, companies will be able to leverage the appeal of newer technologies for users, improve the existing content applications already in use, and power all of these with a more scalable and secure ECM platform than ever before available.
“With the release of Documentum ECM 6.5, EMC is raising the bar for the next generation of enterprise content management,” said Mohammed Amin, Regional Manager, EMC Middle East & North Africa. “We’re delivering a balance of the best experience for users with the control and performance IT needs to sustain a scalable and secure information infrastructure.”
