Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS)

CMIS (pronounced See-Miss) is the first big thing to happen on the ECM standards front in a very long time, and it promises to be a big thing. In particular, as more business processes rely on underlying content in multiple structured and unstructured content repositories, CMIS will enable processes to interact with multiple content repositories seemlessly.

CMIS already has strong vendor support with the big ones already onboard - IBM, Microsoft, EMC, Open Text, Oracle, SAP and Alfresco.
