SBO's, what and how?

I received some feedback on my previous blog on TBO's: http://www.docbyte.com/blog/creating-custom-tbo and a question that came back was: what are SBO's, and how are they connected with TBO's?

So in this tutorial, I'll try to do the following things:

• what is an SBO?
• how do you create an SBO?
• how do you use an SBO?
• provide a sample project

An SBO is a Service-Based Business Object.

Creating a custom TBO

As my first blogpost, I decided  to start off easy and do a (modified) repost of my blogpost on the EMC Community site on how to develop a custom TBO: https://community.emc.com/people/BartThierens/blog/2010/03/15/steps-to-create-a-custom-tbo

Next Generation Documentum Clients: ECM 2.0

In the past, I've already reported about My Documentum (MyDocumentum) and Centerstage. Now, with the release getting closer, there is some more news about these clients.

General Acceptance release of both is September 1st. The release date has been pushed back, apparently due to the possible late addition of the Sharepoint Web parts to the My Documentum suite. EMC says not to be taking any chances with proper testing of the client applications...

News from Momentum Prague 2008

Last week we attended the annual Documentum fest (still sounds better than the EMC Software Group fest). Great organization, long days and long nights. Reconnected with familiar faces.

But was there anything special to announce? Yes, there was.

First of all, there were a lot of things that we already knew:

Why CMS is not ECM (or WCM)?

Although I've had my own theory about the difference between CMS and WCM for years, I've never come across any other source that clearly explains the difference between both acronyms. This has cost several business 100.000s of euros and is going to cost them several 100.000s of euros in years to come. 

Not everyone will agree with this article, but a lot of users might benefit from having a clear view on the distinctions between both.
