The AIIM iECM CMIS Demo 2009
Posted by Nico in CMIS Server, DMS on 28. January 2010
Thomas Pole and Laurence Hart wrote a document about the AIIM iECM CMIS Demo 2009 (iECM is the abbreviation for AIIM’s Interoperable ECM).
Within this document they explain how the CMIS demo was planned and accomplished. The concept was to create a federated search interface that would allow users to search multiple repositories from a single search screen. Several vendors showed interest in assisting the iECM committee and participated on the initial planning calls. At the End Nuxeo, EMC and Alfresco commited themselves to participate to make their repositories CMIS mostly compliant for this demo. This demo has been presented at the AIIM Expo 2009.

Fundamental use cases for CMIS
Thomas Pole and Laurence Hart mentioned three fundamental use cases for CMIS:
- Repository to Repository: This is the direct communication between repositories. This most often occurs when content needs to be managed from a central, “master”, repository.
- Application to Repository: This is when an application that uses content stores that content in an external repository. Through the use of CMIS, the application can focus on providing its core business solution without managing the content or integrating with different repositories that may each have their own API.
- Federated Repository: This is the presentation of a collection of repositories to a user or application as a single repository. This model occurs frequently when users need to combine the services and information available from multiple systems to satisfy searches for content across a scope larger than any individual department.
Thomas Pole is the chair of the iECM committee and Laurence Hart is a member of the iECM committee

8 reasons why CMIS will transform the ECM industry
Stefan Waldhauser posted in the AIIM blog 8 reasons why CMIS will transform the ECM industry
These 8 reasons are:
- CMIS is the SQL for Content Management.
- CMIS is not just another standard.
- CMIS is already well accepted by the customers.
- No more lock-in to one ECM-vendor because of CMIS.
- With CMIS the ECM infrastructure will become commodity.
- CMIS-based applications will become the differentiator.
- CMIS will help to create a 360° view on your customers.
- CMIS 1.0 is just the beginning.

MOSS 2010 and CMIS
According to the post of Ethan Gur-esh in the msdn blog Microsoft will support CMIS with SharePoint 2010. But Microsoft will wait until CMIS 1.0 is officially released.
An interesting quote from Ethan regarding CMIS:
At this point, pretty much every vendor in the ECM space is really motivated to start supporting CMIS in their respective products. We’ve all seen the excitement from customers about CMIS — for example, a recent AIIM survey showed that 15% of organizations are already interested in using CMIS. (This is an unbelievable number for a standard that isn’t even final yet!)
