ECM: CMIS is an Official OASIS Standard
CMIS, the specification for Content Management Interoperability Services, is now a standard. The voting finished up on Saturday over this past weekend, and a sufficient of votes have been received. Of those that voted, all votes were a unanimous ‘Yes’. The official announcement can be found here.
Comments from some of the major vendors and analysts around CMIS include:
“I believe CMIS can transform the ECM industry, allow for significant growth and spawn whole new companies and markets… all the major vendors are all behind CMIS and it will soon be possible for developers to build applications that can run on any repository. Also, the level of functionality in CMIS is quite rich even if it doesn’t cover all the functionality of an ECM system. It’s enough to build some seriously interesting applications.” — John Newton, Alfresco
“On CMIS, all the major software companies have voted: Microsoft, IBM, ECM, SAP, Adobe and Oracle. This is a huge endorsement of the efforts that the three founding companies IBM, Microsoft and EMC and the other participating companies have put into CMIS.” — Al Brown, IBM
“Whether CMIS can be as big as SQL, only time will tell, but it certainly has a great deal of potential to solve a common problem many companies face when pulling content from multiple vendor repositories. It will definitely be interesting to see what kinds of applications and use cases develop over time.” — Fierce Content Management
“CMIS makes it possible for business units to deploy systems independently and focus on application needs rather than on infrastructure considerations. With CMIS, integrating content between two or more repositories is faster, simpler and more cost-effective. This is how it should be,” said David Choy of EMC, chair of the OASIS CMIS Technical Committee.
