Training: Fundamentals

New this year, the Documentum Fundamentals are designed to provide a baseline understanding of key business application areas, including ECM, WCM, Records Management, Collaboration, Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) and Content Services for SAP. New users are encouraged to attend these sessions to attain a basic understanding of all the possibilities the Documentum platform affords.

The Documentum Fundamentals classes are not technical, and are offered free of charge to all attendees.  No pre-event sign-up is required, and the sessions are offered on a first-come first-served basis on site.

Fundamentals 1 : Introduction to Enterprise Content Management
This introductory session will explain how all the capabilities of the Documentum offering come together in a single environment to deliver enterprise content management. Learn about the basics of ECM, find out what capabilities Documentum offers to help businesses achieve the benefits of a common content environment, and discover best practices for planning and implementing such a strategy.

Fundamentals 2 : Introduction to Web Content Management
In today's business environment, companies often maintain hundreds of web sites and portals throughout their organisations and managing this content efficiently poses quite a challenge. In this session, learn what tools and applications Documentum provides to ensure users can easily contribute and publish content to web and portal sites. Additionally, find out how web teams can effectively manage the content processes associated with their sites, including document publishing, rich media management and multilingual content management.

Fundamentals 3: Introduction to Information Lifecycle Management
See how EMC and Documentum will enable you to optimise the access, management, routing, storage, archival, and retrieval of all types of data and content throughout the entire information lifecycle.   ILM (Information Lifecycle Management) is revolutionising the way organisations manage their information.   Find out how ILM will shape the future of enterprise content management and your organisation

Fundamentals 4: Introduction to Collaboration
This session will provide an overview of Documentum eRoom and examine how businesses are achieving greater ROI through collaboration. Discover the unique capabilities of eRoom and see firsthand why Documentum made the most significant acquisition in our history to obtain this "killer app."

Fundamentals 5: Introduction to Records Management
This session will provide an in-depth look at Documentum Records Manager, our industry-leading solution for records management. Learn how this robust offering integrates with the Documentum platform to enable administration of all physical and electronic records - including services for e-mail.

Fundamentals 6: Introduction to Content Services for SAP
This session will discuss the 2004-2005 product roadmap, specific technology direction and customer strategies geared towards dramatically increasing the return on investment in Documentum and SAP through a seamless leverage of both vendors' latest technologies (i.e. R/3 Enterprise, SAP Enterprise Portal, NetWeaver, Webtop, DFC).

SAP is the world's leading ERP vendor. Many customers use Documentum's Content Services for SAP to leverage their existing Documentum and SAP R/3 investments. This enables them to:

• Streamline business processes by providing SAP end-users access to critical supporting documents and content
• Enable reuse of SAP documents and data across the enterprise (e.g. web publishing, document workflows, distribution)
• Manage SAP documents and data through the complete Information Lifecycle, using the Documentum Repository and other storage options (e.g. EMC Centera, Legato Disk Extender)

Content Services for SAP consists of a set of components which enable SAP end-user access to content and the deployment of server agents for automated archiving and linking of content.   The product is designed to be transparent to users within SAP client software, thereby reducing the total cost of ownership while providing sophisticated content management.   Upcoming releases will focus on providing SAP users access to richer content and content-management services using visual components based on Webtop/WDK and the Business Object Framework (BOF) of the Documentum Foundation Classes (DFC).   This will also provide broader platform support, improved scalability and better integration to the newer thin-client SAP client interfaces.
