EMC Corporation announced the addition of Google Desktop for Enterprise as the newest information source available to users through a single query within EMC Documentum Enterprise Content Integration (ECI) Services. This announcement also marks a strategy between EMC and Google to give joint customers greater access to enterprise content. Documentum ECI Services is a federated enterprise search solution that integrates content within and outside the enterprise. By combining Documentum ECI Services with Google Desktop for Enterprise, users have a single point of access and an integrated user experience to search their local desktops in addition to a variety of internal and external information sources, regardless of whether the information resides in an application, database, Web site, or content management repository. Documentum ECI Services for Google Desktop for Enterprise will be available later this quarter. http://www.emc.com

Alfresco Software Inc. announced that has integrated the open source programming language, PHP, into its development environment. This enables PHP developers to create new content-centric applications and dynamic web pages that access Alfresco. PHP is an open source programming language. It is a simple scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded in HTML. This makes PHP an especially complementary language for the Alfresco ECM environment. Alfresco has used connectivity tools that use Web Services and a Service Oriented Architecture to hide much of the complexity for the PHP developer. This enables the full range Alfresco capabilities to be made available to PHP developers.

Document validation has been improved by adding continuous validation support (validate as you type), error markers and overview ruler, multiple external validation engines and support for CSS validation.

The debugging support is based on the Saxon XQuery processor from Saxonica.
