Mathsoft announced it will join forces with Documentum to enable calculation management capabilities that combine engineering information generated in Mathcad software with business processes automated by the Documentum Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform. Customers will now be able to use Documentum to store, search, retrieve and reuse Mathcad-generated calculations and results. They will be able to integrate calculations and results into Documentum-powered workflows and business processes, including auditing trails, engineering change orders (ECOs), ISO 9000 quality certification procedures, Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance efforts, and Six Sigma quality assurance processes. The integration will specifically enable the Documentum ECM platform to read and process Mathcad calculation worksheets using XML. As a result, the combined system will treat the documents as structured chunks of content – calculations, graphics, methods, assumptions, data and results. The integration will be part of a Mathsoft service engagement. Implementations will start at $10,000. www.documentum.com, www.mathsoft.com
