EMC made quite a splash in the press just prior to the Thanksgiving holiday with their announcement<\/a> of an embeddable version of Documentum, their ECM product.\u00a0 The new offering is the EMC Documentum\u00ae OEM Edition, specifically tailored towards OEMs and ISVs.<\/p>\n

EMC is calling this the “world’s first embeddable Enterprise Content Management (ECM)” platform.\u00a0 But it’s hard to see what’s so revolutionary about their announcement or how they can claim to be the first embeddable platform.\u00a0\u00a0The announcement\u00a0seems to be more related to marketing and packaging than to true new functionality.\u00a0 Most likely\u00a0the announcement\u00a0is an attempt\u00a0to position themselves to better compete with Oracle’s Content DB<\/a> strategy.\u00a0 With Content DB, Oracle provides a platform with ready-made ECM infrastructure components tightly bound to their Oracle RDBMS.<\/p>\n

EMC’s Belaji Yelamanchili, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Content Management and Archiving, says that\u00a0“Partners use off-the-shelf databases for structured information, and similarly, their needs are better served by using an off-the-shelf content platform”.\u00a0 Check.\u00a0 I agree fully with that.\u00a0 That’s the strategy we’ve used at Formtek for years.<\/p>\n

Formtek<\/a> has worked with our partners, both domestically and internationally, for many years, providing a solid, secure and very scalable ECM engine that is used as an ’embeddable’\u00a0platform\u00a0within the content-rich vertical applications created by our partners.\u00a0 The programmable Formtek engine has SDK interfaces available via Java API, Web Services, CLIs for shell and batch program scripting, and JSP tag libraries.\u00a0 More information about the Formtek partner program can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
