Anyone planning on driving over from the Syracuse area? Not sure I am up for driving myself over and back alone, but if I had some company, it might be worth it. Looks like an interesting place, and I would like to get to know some of the members of this new-to-me chapter!

Hi Richard,
For our document content management system, our company is currently using Documentum and moving to SharePoint. I am disappointed with the application of both of them. Documentum is the backend for our ancient fulfillment system and we use eRooms to save other files. it's difficult to find anything in either of those systems. I have heard SharePoint is supposed to be better, but I have also heard we are using it wrong by setting it up with the typical file folder structure. That's about all I can offer.

My employer is asking for my input in selecting a CMS. Currently I use structured FrameMaker 9 and I am recommending upgrading to FM10 because of its connection capability to Documentum and SharePoint. I would like to hear from other members who have used these CMS's.
