EMC and Microsoft

In the new world of HIPPA and SOX we all know how challenging the problems of securing our data while keeping it available to the people who require it can be. Faced with the challenges of balancing regulatory compliance and effective data access, technology professionals will be glad to learn of the new strategic alliance Microsoft has formed with EMC.

Today Microsoft and EMC announced a new enterprise content management (ECM) alliance aimed at helping to enable organizations to become People-Ready with their compliance, regulatory and other critical business data. This alliance enables information workers to take advantage of the Microsoft® tools and applications they use every day to access and contribute to the critical business processes available in their ECM infrastructure. As part of this strategic alliance, EMC will introduce a set of new content and archiving products that enable tighter integration between the industry-leading EMC Documentum ECM platform and Microsoft solutions and platform technologies. This announcement builds on the existing EMC and Microsoft alliance. (The previous announcement about their relationship is available at https://www.emc.com/news/emc_releases/showRelease.jsp?id=4095).

EMC will bring to market new solutions that seamlessly integrate the EMC Documentum platform with multiple Microsoft solutions and platform technologies including Microsoft Office SharePoint® Server 2007, the 2007 Microsoft Office system, SQL Server™ 2005 and enterprise search solutions. Microsoft provides content management capabilities in SharePoint Server 2007 today. With this new alliance SharePoint users can take advantage of the advanced ECM capabilities of the Documentum platform. Information workers will be able to access the Documentum platform natively from within Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and the Microsoft Office system, enabling users to leverage the power of the Documentum platform in areas such as advanced records management, business process management, imaging and rich media from their preferred Microsoft applications.

    Gary, This announcement was just made today so I do not have deep dive details. But, from what I can gleam at this point, there are two points at which the EMC solution and SQL intersect:
  1. EMC has also extended the Documentum platform to support Microsoft SQL Server 2005. With this new integration, EMC Documentum customers can now use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to achieve a better application experience, improved performance and more application reliability. At the same time, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 customers can leverage enterprise-level content management capabilities including process and repository services for increased functionality and flexibility in collaboration, automation and security. 2)SQL Server 2005 Upgrade and Deployment – Database design and implementation services to streamline customer upgrades to or new deployments of SQL Server 2005. This solution also results in an information infrastructure optimized for scalability, performance and availability Look for more detailed info from EMC and Microsoft in the coming months. Thanks!

    I read the same press release and only see a web part that will allow SharePoint Portal users to find Documentum stores documents; check them in and out; and use EMC's search (isn't it Google?) to display results back to a user. I do not see anything about SQL Server 2005 or .NET.

    The annoucement cleary talks about their SQL 2005 support which is slated for release by end of this calendar year. EMC uses FAST for their search. The search integration is 2 way in SPS and Vista users can search their repository and DCTM users can search SPS.
