Even EMC|Documentum has to respect SharePoint. Today, EMC announced plans to integrate more closely with a variety of Microsoft server products. That's not new, since Documentum has often touted its Microsoft support in the past. The real story here is that Documentum joins a raft of other enterprise content management vendors acknowledging that SharePoint will continue to proliferate as a conduit from Office files to enterprise repositories. But as Enterprise Portals Report readers know, SharePoint is also a lightweight document collaboration platform in its own right, with heavierweight ambitions in the forthcoming MOSS 2007 release. In any case, don't expect to see well-supported glue code soon: these sorts of alliances tend to start with a bang, but very often dissipate without as much as a whimper.
