11. CMIS: Why and What?
• Statement of Purpose
• Define a domain model that can be used by applications
to work with one or more Content Management systems
• Data Model, Abstract Capabilities, Set of Bindings
• Problem of “islands of incompatible systems” making it
difficult for organizations and application developers to
integrate content across and among systems

18. New Approach to Dealing
with Content Silos
18
Open Source ECM
Thursday, May 27, 2010
19. Harvesting the Silos
• Finding the common ground across Content
Management Repositories
• Technical Use Cases
• Repository to Repository
• Application to Repository
• Federated Repositories

20. Harvesting the Silos
• Repository to Repository
• Publish a document from one repository to another
• Example: a document in an ECM system published to a WCM upon
approval
• Manage corporate records from one centralized repository
• Access business records from multiple document repositories in one
records system for consistent retention, disposition
20
Open Source ECM
Thursday, May 27, 2010
21. Harvesting the Silos
• Application to Repository
• Use and consume managed content across other line of
business applications
• ERP, CRM, case management systems, collaboration tools
• Let content flow across its natural horizontal business
lifecycle
21
Open Source ECM
Thursday, May 27, 2010
22. Harvesting the Silos
• Federated Repositories
• Ability to use and consume content across multiple
repositories
• Appears to end user as one cohesive system
• Ability to build single UI to access content in across
multiple repositories - entirely different ECM products

26. Lowest Common Denominator or
Greatest Common Factor?
• Basics of the
Specification
• Object Types
• Documents, Folders,
Relationships, Policies
• Each object has an object
identity, properties
• Objects may an access
control list, a content
stream or rendition

32. ECM Evolving into a Platform
for Content Applications
• CMIS opens the door to meaningful consumption of
content across business processes
• Generic deployments of basic document management
often don’t meet business requirements
• Compliance cudgel often doesn’t work
• Productivity is back on the front-burner
• CMIS = Fast integrations

33. ECM Evolving into a Platform
for Content Applications
• Recent AIIM Market Intelligence “State of the ECM
Industry” 2010
• 34% Respondents have a keen interest in CMIS
• But... only 7% plan to adopt over next year

34. ECM Evolving into a Platform
for Content Applications
• Vendors with cohesive platforms may be able to be
most creative with CMIS
• ECM vendors will need to differentiate in new ways
• Suite vendors that assembled portfolio via
acquisition will take longer to take full advantage of
CMIS
• Inconsistent architectures and integrations
