(InfoWorld) - EMC and Microsoft are substantially stepping up their existing enterprise content management (ECM) relationship to provide tighter integration between EMC's Documentum ECM software and Microsoft's Office, Outlook, and SharePoint products. As part of the expanded relationship announced Tuesday, EMC's Documentum will support Microsoft's SQL Server 2005 database later this quarter, according to John McCormick, vice president of product management, content management software at EMC EMC also plans to bring out two services designed to link Documentum and Microsoft software content and archiving, he said. The two services are set to debut early in the first quarter of 2007 as Microsoft releases SharePoint Server 2007. EMC expects to release pricing for the two services -- EMC Documentum Content Services for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 and EMC Documentum Archive Services for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 later this year. The idea is to have Microsoft software as the front-end for Documentum software as a way to increase the number of users of EMC's products and give more Microsoft customers easier access to complex ECM functionality. It's the same strategy Microsoft is adopting with a number of applications partners, notably with SAP around the Duet product, said Rob Bernard, general manager of Microsoft's global independent software vendor team.Â Formerly known as Project Mendocino, Duet was jointly developed by Microsoft and SAP to let users access data and processes from SAP's back-end business applications via Microsoft's front-end desktop Office software suite. "This is the culmination of a vision we've been working on for a number of years," Bernard said. "It's about unifying the front end with the back end that the casual user needs to interact with in ECM, ERP, and CRM." Using the upcoming Documentum archive services, users can manually or automatically flow content from SharePoint repositories to a Documentum repository while enabling users to access and search the content from the SharePoint Server 2007 software. Archiving SharePoint content in Documentum should help companies in meeting compliance regulations, McCormick said. Unlike Duet, the services are only being offered by EMC. The previous ECM relationship between EMC and Microsoft was more reactive than proactive, Bernard said. McCormick agreed. "Before we worked on [Documentum] integration with Office and Outlook 2003," he said. "Microsoft supplied the tools, EMC or our partners built out the solution. This is different. EMC and Microsoft are together." As yet, the two companies aren't working together on Web content management, but that could be a logical next step to further expand their relationship, the executives noted.ADVERTISEMENTMAKE SOA REAL WITH IBM WEBSPHERE PODCASTStreamline processes and maximize efficiency within a proven service oriented architecture.

Storage company EMC has agreed to buy Document Sciences, a developer of software for personalizing mailshots and other communications. The acquisition will allow EMC to extend its offering in the field of transactional content management, which it sees as the fastest-growing part of the enterprise content management market. It plans to incorporate Document Sciences into its content management and archiving division.Using xPression, Document Sciences&#39; flagship application, companies can automate the creation and delivery of personalized communications such as brochures and contracts. The data can be drawn from CRM (customer relationship management), ECM (enterprise content management) and ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems, it said.Automating the processes can save companies money or speed deals along, Document Sciences said. It has more than 500 customers using its software, it said.Document Sciences and EMC have been partners since 2004, when Document Sciences signed an agreement to integrate its xPression software with EMC&#39;s Documentum platform.Acquiring Document Sciences will allow EMC to further its goal of delivering systems for handling business problems end to end, it said.The xPression software could be useful for companies building transaction-intensive consumer financial applications such as new account enrollment, wealth management, brokerage and claims processing.The acquisition, for $85 million in cash, already has the approval of the companies&#39; boards of directors. Subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of regulators and Document Sciences&#39; shareholders, the companies expect to close the deal by the end of March.EMC went on a buying spree in 2003, buying Legato and&#160;Documentum&#160;and has added around 20 companies since then, including security and encryption company&#160;RSA Security, virtualization specialist&#160;Rainfinity, and other companies such as Acartus,&#160;Captiva,&#160;and&#160;Internosis.

(InfoWorld) - IBM Corp. is introducing a range of new products and services, many based on technologies coming from recently acquired companies, aimed at helping businesses better manage and take advantage of their various software and hardware systems. The new offerings stem from IBM acquisitions including MRO Software Inc., Micromuse Inc., Rembo Technology SARL, Isogon Corp., Collation Inc. and CIMS Lab Inc. and aim to offer businesses simple and central ways to manage their technology assets. IBM plans to release this month a new version of Tivoli Change and Configuration Management Database software that will include technology from application resource mapping software developer Collation, a company IBM acquired late last year. The new software integrates IT information spread across the enterprise, including information about servers, storage devices, networks, middleware and applications. The software could help businesses notice, for example, that an IT problem stems from a change in an application such as a security update, rather than from hardware or software failure, and help pinpoint and fix the problem quickly. Another new release, IBM Tivoli Capacity Process Manager, which will become available in the fourth quarter, predicts computing capacity and performance, thus helping users reduce network slowdowns and outages. The software is part of IBM's process manager family of products that automate workflows. Two additional new products are available immediately. One is the IBM Service Management Self-Assessment Toolkit, a free online service that helps users focus on priorities when designing a service management strategy by rating the importance of internal processes. The IBM Tivoli Unified Process Composer, also available now, aims to help new customers begin employing service management. In addition to the new products, IBM also launched the IBM Service Management Partner Ecosystem with a dozen other companies including Avnet Inc., Cisco Systems Inc., Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. and Nortel Networks Corp. The companies say they'll work together to build and promote products based on IBM's platforms and industry standards.
