Documentum eRoom Collaboration: Improving Enterprise Knowledge Work

In the rush to tie together the "back office," many companies have automated and increased efficiency between software systems while paying little attention to an equally important area: the interactions between the people responsible for running projects and processes. Many of the back-office technologies that focus on system-to-system collaboration fail to acknowledge the interpersonal processes, the "air gaps" that require human intervention and interaction. Astute companies now recognize that by increasing efficiency on the "front line" - where knowledge workers plan, manage, and execute a company's core business initiatives - they can dramatically drive down costs while accelerating and improving the delivery of new products and services. Collaborative applications such as Documentum eRoom have emerged to help people become much more efficient in their daily tasks, enabling them to seamlessly collaborate on projects, programs, and processes and eliminating the gaps that put pressure on profitability and time to market.
