Documentum’s APIs vs CMIS
Posted by Nico in General, Presentation on 9. March 2010
I just found an interesting PowerPoint presentation from EMC that describes the difference between the Documentum API and CMIS.
See how Documentum’s web services pulls together CMIS for standards based interoperability and integrations, DFS for building and extending your client applications, and RESTful services for Rich Internet Application mash-ups.
Based on the presentation there are four main Use Cases of CMIS:
- Multi-Repository
- Application + ECM Integration
- Build Once, Use Often
- Migration
The slides offer a general guideline of usage only, as there are no hard and fast rules on which technology should be used when. The PowerPoint presentation can be downloaded here.
Video with EMC CTO Razmik Abnous talking about CMIS
Razmik Abnous, CTO at EMC, is talking about CMIS and the need for this standard.
He talks about the following five different scenarios:
- Content Collaboration / Aggregation
- Content Centric Applications (e.g. BPM, multi-channel publishing)
- E-Discovery
- Archival
- Compound / Virtual Document
The video itself is about 18 month old but still interesting to watch.

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.
