Comparing Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) to EMC eRoom?
Parallel with this interest in considering this solution as a plug to this wide range of corporate ills is an equally widening comparison of this product to a broad range of existing platform products. Within the EMC Documentum suite of products, one offering that is often garnering quite a bit of direct comparison to SharePoint is EMC eRoom. The great irony is that not only would a head to head comparison be unfair to both products, it might make better send to compare SharePoint to EMC Documentum than EMC eRoom. But even that gets complicated quickly where EMC Documentum is a battle tested, long proven product that serves a wide variety of industries while SharePoint though it its third incarnation lacks much of the flexibility that make EMC Documentum the choice for many industries.
If one was to still consider a comparison of SharePoint to EMC Documentum eRoom, that is further complicated by the fact that the comparison would be to a moving target. Current EMC Documentum product roadmaps points to a scenario where version 6.5 could very well be a last chapter that creates a harmoniously synergy of collaboration and enterprise content management such that one can’t so easily discern where old eRoom ends and EMC Documentum starts.
Therefore, the best one can even attempt is a comparison of EMC Documentum eRoom version 8 or earlier vis-à-vis Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007. As might be expected, there a quite a few things that clearly shows eRoom’s maturity and discernable strength. On the reverse side, especially considering EMC Documentum version 6.5 is not here yet, there are many things that SharePoint offers that simply might not available yet.
