As companies find more to store, they need better products, too. Microsoft and EMC last week said they've expanded joint work to design software that closely integrates Microsoft's Office suite with EMC's software for managing the storage of files on servers.
EMC, whose Documentum unit sells software that helps large companies organize and store documents, images, and multimedia files, plans to deliver three products early next year that will let business PC users manage files stored in Documentum using Microsoft's SharePoint Server 2007. The new SharePoint, which can manage storing and searching Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, will be available as part of the Office 2007 suite, due in the first quarter of next year.
