Content Management Interoperability Services 2008-09-17 Software The CMIS standard defines a domain model and set of bindings, such as Web Service and REST/Atom, to enable applications to interoperate with multiple Enterprise Content Management (ECM) repositories by different vendors. The goal of CMIS is to dramatically reduce the IT burden around multivendor, multirepository content management environments. Currently, customers must spend valuable time and money to create and maintain custom integration code and one-off integrations to get different ECM systems within their organizations to talk to one another.
