"The addition of eRoom enhances the already robust Documentum platform -- the benefits it provides align with the business direction and future vision at Aventis."

"Virtually all companies are striving to make the most of new and existing assets and investments -- in terms of technology, as well as the expertise and inherent knowledge within the organization," said Dana Gardner, research director, Aberdeen Group. "eRoom Enterprise offers a collaborative environment with an integrated enterprise-caliber content management platform, which has strong appeal to global organizations that recognize the immediate and long-term benefits of a powerful content infrastructure."

"eRoom Enterprise provides a refreshing new client to Documentum -- one that is rich in collaboration functionality. eRoom Enterprise delivers all the flexibility of eRoom and the stability and power of Documentum. We've been long time users of both Documentum and eRoom and are thrilled to see an integrated product," said Ann-Marie Horcher, EDM Architect/Senior Specialist, Dow Corning.
