SBO's, what and how?

bart.thierens — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 12:35:50 +0200

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

Frederik — Wed, 06 May 2009 21:20:16 +0200

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...

Creating a Flat Panel in Flex

The Panel in the Adobe Flex lay-out containers stack is a great component. It immediately reminds users of the typical windows we get in most operating systems today, in contrast to most other container components. It's for that reason that the Panel component is very popular, and rightly so. However, there's one thing that has always bothered me while developing Flex-based applications: the main content area of a Panel.

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.

The Wiki

As you might have noticed, if you've clicked on the wiki link at the top of this page: The wiki doesn't seem to be a part of this site. Correctly so!

Success in ECM

On the 25th of September, Docbyte is attending the Congress Innovations@DocumentManagement. I'm giving a presentation about how you can make the best of your ECM implementation, based on the experience we have in this field.

The key reasons for ECM project failures are taken from the AIIM website. The major interesting fact about those key reasons for ECM implementation failures, is that non of these reasons are directly technology related, as many of us ECM professionals have known for quite a while.
