I am very interested in a DMS system that is truly cross platform.
I have considered working with SharePoint, but its lack of proper
support of browsers other then IE, and only minimal support of apple
clients (of which we have quite a few) disqualified its use.

I'd like to hear from cultural institutions that are using commercial
document management systems. These include products like EMC's
Documentum,
Xerox's Docushare, Microsoft 's Sharepoint (and whatever embroidery may
have
been applied to that), or any of the other many systems that claim to
manage
document and email production. I am not at this time trying to learn
about
standards based (e.g. OAIS) trusted digital repository implementations.
Nor
am I interested in Web Content management systems *per se*. Moreover,
the
content I'm interested in is not what cultural institutions collect, but
what they produce internally in terms of scholarly research,
correspondence,
etc -- in other words, the usual scope of unstructured documentation
that is
generated in the course of our business processes. Is anyone out there
doing
this? If so, I would love to hear from you: what do you use? What do you
use
it to manage? Is anyone using it to manage curatorial research and/or
exhibition development? Is email part of it?
Feel free to contact me off-list, but on-list is fine -- I would be
thrilled
if other people were interested in this topic as well!

The Mississippi Department of Archives and History has been having
discussions on document management with an EMC representative. I am also
interested in hearing what software other cultural institutions use.
