The Documentum 6 platform is a piece of EMC’s Documentum suite, a broad spectrum of ECM products that include software covering transactional content management, archiving, knowledge worker, compliance, interactive content management, and platform infrastructure.
Core to the Documentum 6 platform is its new services-based API (application programming interface) as well as new development tools that together revolutionize Documentum-based application development and configuration.
Accompanying the launch, EMC today announced that it will offer up to $100,000 in cash prizes for winning participants of the EMC Documentum 6 platform Developers’ Challenge.
Documentum 6 platform supports content management and archiving applications, supplying common tools and services to manage content, processes and repositories. Key innovations for the Documentum 6 platform include:
• Documentum Enterprise Content Services: a new, Web Services-based API that simplifies development and integration with ready-to-use enterprise content services for easy integration with other enterprise applications within a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). EMC’s new services interface was redesigned to eliminate Documentum specific methods and terminology and replace it with a vendor-neutral framework for working with content management functionality. These services enable developers with no Documentum experience to build ECM applications quickly and easily. This open, generic approach eliminates the “knowledge barriers” that get in the way of incorporating ECM functionality in all enterprise applications and business processes that deal with content
• Documentum Composer: provides a standardized environment for development and configuration tools that reduce the need for coding and facilitates composition of applications with reusable elements — making the design, customization, deployment and maintenance of content applications faster and easier
• Documentum Branch Office Caching Services: enables robust global scalability for enterprises with high-performance, remote application requirements by enabling all end-user operations - read, create, edit, version, search – to occur locally to a user, regardless of location, resulting in the fastest response times possible
EMC Developer Contest
The Documentum 6 platform is designed to enable quick development of Web services-based content management applications. In support of this message, EMC issued today an open challenge to software developers and software development teams for entries for ECM applications based on the Documentum 6 platform.
Submissions will be judged by a panel of internal EMC experts and external representatives in the analyst, media and SOA/Web Services fields. The top submission will be recognized at the EMC Developers Conference 2007 in Monaco. The total $100,000 cash prizes will be allocated as follows: $50,000 for first prize, $20,000 for second prize, $10,000 for third prize, and up to four noteworthy contributions selected by the panel may be awarded honorary mention prizes of $5,000.
Registration for the Developers’ Challenge will open in early August and submissions will be accepted through September 28, 2007. Complete rules and regulations will be posted on the EMC Developer Network website. Please visit:
