The three fundamental elements of Documentum architecture are the Documentum content repository, content services, and content applications:

• Content Repository - Documentum provides a universal repository capable of storing and managing all content types including documents, scanned images, Web pages, XML, rich media, records, engineering drawings, reports, and many others. Thanks to its unique object-relational architecture, Documentum can store and manage a virtually unlimited number of objects of any type in its repository. This enables organizations to leverage sophisticated architectures and storage systems to account for their performance, geographic distribution, business continuity, globalization, and security requirements. With over a decade of successfully helping the most demanding customers manage their content assets in Documentum repositories, we're confident that we can assist enterprises in any industry to accomplish their goals more efficiently and reliably.
• Content Services - The Documentum Content Server comprises the core of all content services provided by Documentum and provides a variety of content services common to all content types. Content services deliver native storage of diverse types of content, access control, versioning, search, workflow, and many other services. Additional content services are provided by Content Server extensions such as Content Intelligence Services, Content Distribution Services, Inter-Enterprise Workflow Services, Trusted Content Services , Media Services, and many others. These add-on products provide capabilities such as content categorization, content distribution, content transformation, and rich media support amongst others.
• Content Applications - To access content in the Documentum repository and Documentum content services, content applications leverage the Documentum API. Together with other developer services, the API provides developers with an easy-to-use environment to build or customize content applications they've developed based on the Documentum platform. The Documentum API is used by independent Documentum software vendors, OEMs, system integrators, Documentum customers, and Documentum engineers for applications and clients provided by Documentum.

The Documentum platform has been designed with the enterprise in mind, providing unmatched scalability, business continuity, security, and globalisation capabilities. The Documentum platform provides a number of core services shared by content applications.
