I don't know who that person is, but I'd like to add my two cents.
Saros was a company. They merged with FileNET. Saros had a document
management product called "Mezzanine." It is the foundation of
FileNET's "Saros Document Manager," which in turn is part of their
"Panagon IDM Document Services package." If you think that's confusing,
you should see their web site.
Btw, fwiw, Saros Document Manager is Weyerhaeuser's standard for
document management.
