HOPKINTON, Mass. – June 1, 2011 – EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today
announced euroscript (http://www.euroscript.com/global/en/128.html) as
the winner of its 2011 xCP xCelerator Challenge. Announced at EMC World
in Las Vegas, the xCP xCelerator Challenge is a contest that encourages
EMC® Documentum® customers, partners and employees to submit working
xCelerators, which are assets that can be used to accelerate the
creation, adoption, and/or implementation of an xCP solution, for cash
prizes and recognition for contributing to the global Documentum
developer community.
euroscript swept the xCP xCelerator Challenge, winning the top spot in
both the Best Sample Application
(https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-9494) and Best xCelerator Asset
(https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-9863) categories. Both of the
euroscript xCelerators reflect the philosophy of openness and
flexibility inherent in xCP. The euroscript Trip Planner sample
application can be configured to satisfy any type of travel policy, and
the PDF Form Reader xCelerator can be incorporated into any Documentum
xCP application. euroscript submitted the PDF Form reader in response to
the substantial interest shown by the Community in their Adobe forms
integrations with xCP.
Additionally, Nick King of EMC UK Professional Services won the
employee category of the xCP xCelerator Challenge for his Investigative
Case Management (ICM) prototype
(https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-9914). The prototype is based
on a legal process for a burglary, going from the recording of the
incident in the ICM system, through to the arrest of a suspect and the
request for advice from the court before charging the suspect with the
crime. Other scenarios could be demonstrated with minimal
configuration.
With entries received from around the world, the Challenge greatly
increased the number of solutions and components available to Documentum
xCP customers and partners. The open sharing of knowledge, best
practices and software components is at the foundation of the Documentum
Developer Community
(https://community.emc.com/community/edn/documentum). Twenty four
entries from this year’s challenge were made available within the
xCelerator xChange, creating a library of sample applications and
pre-built application components.
“This contest has certainly demonstrated the variety of solutions
that can be built with Documentum xCP,” says Maureen Fleming, Program
Vice President for IDC’s Business Process Management and Middleware
research area, and one of the Challenge judges. “I was very impressed
to see the global participation, as well as the strength of the
community that has built up around EMC’s product.”
“Documentum xCP is a leader in the case management market, due in
part to a vibrant community of partners and developers who have embraced
the richness and openness of the platform to deliver additional
value,” said Neville Letzerich, Vice President and General Manager
of xCP product unit for the Information Intelligence Group, a division
of EMC. “We congratulate euroscript for its success in winning both
categories. Nick King’s xCelerator shows how the reuse inherent in xCP
enables solution components built for one customer to benefit dozens of
other customers facing similar challenges.”
The company also unveiled its new xCP Design Pattern library
(https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-7312), a subset of the xCP Pattern
Library that provides advice and best practices for developers to
further reduce implementation time. Each xCP Design Pattern clearly
describes how to address a particular business or functional need within
xCP. Combining best practices an
d reusable xCelerator components,
enables organizations to build high quality and reliable applications
more quickly and easily. To learn more about Documentum xCP visit:
