Yes, you can create workflows for SharePoint lists in SharePoint Designer, but they aren't the most robust workflows you may need for your organization. Instead of hiring developers to build the workflows you need, why not try the new Workflow Essentials solution from SharePoint Solutions

Many law firms in Canada (and the United States) use Interwoven for their document management system (DMS). Interwoven is a very robust DMS that can manage large volumes of documents while keeping good version control and honoring security settings.

I thought it was a good time to go straight to the source and speak with the visionary CEOs leading the E2.0 charge.

Connectors, in my experience, are one of the surprises that often bedevil licensees. These code chunks make it possible for the licensee to index information that reside in systems or files within an organization. A vendor who does not provide connectors leaves the customer with some stark options; for example, don’t index the content or pay for a new connector. If Mr. Stamper is correct, Autonomy’s connectors are a definite plus for the IDOL system.

For a time, Autonomy’s closest search rival was Verity, until Autonomy bought the company for $500m in November 2005. After that, it was the Norwegian company, Fast Search and Transfer (FAST) that seemed to be the nearest rival.

in January this year FAST was bought by Microsoft for $1.2bn, though it is being operated as a subsidiary, of which Lervik is still CEO.

But even at its peak, FAST was not making anything like Autonomy’s revenue. In the last quarter as an independent entity before it was acquired – the third quarter of 2007 – FAST announced sales of $35.6m, up just 4%. In the same quarter of that year, Autonomy announced its sales rose 49% to $89.6m.
