EMC Corporation is a world leader in hardware, software, and services for information and storage management. The EMC Documentum Process Suite offering is part of the Documentum family of enterprise content management (ECM) software, and is tightly integrated with the Documentum Content Server and repository for its operation. While it can be applied to a broad class of process solutions, the primary focus is on transactional content management (TCM). Transactional content typically originates outside of the organization and drives internal back- office transactions such as invoice processing, loan origination, claims and case management.
In version 6.0, Documentum TaskSpace introduces a new user runtime environment optimized for task processing and document retrieval. The configurable TaskSpace interface includes an integrated viewer and access to the EMC Documentum repository and content management services within a standard browser application. TaskSpace, in combination with the rest of the Documentum Process Suite, EMC Captiva, and the Documentum repository, delivers an end-to- end solution for managing high-volume TCM applications. Companion offerings, including Documentum Collaborative Edition and Documentum Records Manager, provide the BPMS with unique capabilities at the intersection of BPM and content management.
EMC’s June 2006 acquisition of ProActivity, a provider of process modeling and analysis tools, completed the Documentum Process Suite with a native Business Process Analysis environment and Business Activity Monitoring (BAM). EMC now offers a unified platform for the entire process lifecycle, including analytical modeling, process automation, human workflow, application integration, business rules (through a partnership arrangement with ILOG), and BAM – augmented with special features such as team collaboration, document management, imaging, and records retention and management.
The Documentum Process Suite is natively content-aware: Storage, manipulation, and retrieval of objects in the Documentum content repository are services available out of the box to process designers, as are content events, such as insertion or update of repository objects, which can automatically trigger process actions.
