Sometimes it seems to me that really getting SharePoint to efficiently interoperate with traditional ECM solutions is a bit like high school sex. Everyone is talking about it, some people claim to be doing it but in reality it isn’t happening… Maybe I am being overly cynical but I have noticed that most people that I talk to, and most articles that I read, hypothesize about how to make the systems work rather than talking about real-life successes.
Are you doing it? For real?
To be clear, I’m talking about SharePoint/ECM interop in a real production environment. If you are a customer who is doing this, especially with Documentum then do me a favor and email me. If you are a partner with a practice focused on this – or even just considering moving in to this area email me too. I’m looking to interview a few customers and partners about their experiences and/or plans just to confirm some business planning that I’m working on.
Just a thought – might a Blog title with SharePoint and Sex in the title trump all others? I’ll twitter about this article and see if I can beat Ashton Kutcher at his own game.
Andrerw,
Your title is funny and the article certainly has merit. I can answer yes to both of your requests. We do have a commercially available integration platform and we do have a Documentum customer in production. Our company and our client would be more than happy to discuss our product, the approach and the solution.
Cheers,
Jay Rothe

In my previous live with Accenture, we had two very large clients whom we successfully integrated Documentum and SharePoint for them.
Technically speaking it was working fine; the issue was that the two clients had to go back revisit the concept of operation on the relation between the contents of the two platforms.
Now, I am out of Accenture for 6 months, I am not how far these projects are.
