DMS and Collaboration Suite: Friends not Foes
Michael Idinopulos published a great piece on his SocialText blog: DMS and Collaboration Suite: Friends not Foes. (It reminded me that I never published my Wikis and Document Management Systems piece. I have it set to publish tommorrow.) “When asked about the relationship between DMS and collaboration tools, what I said was that some of [...]
Interwoven Express Search and Worksite 8.3 Update
The document management system is the assembly line of large law firms. We sell our knowledge to our clients. But we package and deliver a lot of that knowledge in documents. I keep a close eye on the document management system to make sure it is keeping pace and hoping that it will show some [...]

Document Management Systems and Law Firm Knowledge Management 2.0
For a law firm, the document management system is their factory assembly line. Lawyers draft documents. We start with a form, precedent or blank sheet of paper.
