Posted by Nico in .NET, CMIS Clients, CMIS Server on 14. August 2010
Microsoft just announced their CMIS connector for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, which enables SharePoint users to interact with content that is stored in any repository that has implemented the CMIS standard. The connector also makes SharePoint Server 2010 content available to any application that has implemented the CMIS standard. The CMIS connector is available as part of the SharePoint 2010 Administration Toolkit.
