Summary

Standards can help and hinder enterprise architecture. Successful standards let technology managers adopt systems that work together with minimal customization.

Enterprises, however, often remain unsure of what CMIS is and how it can be used as part of a content management strategy. This report looks beyond vendor views on CMIS and explores how early adopters in the private and public sector apply CMIS to solve real-world business and technical problems. Architects should assess the potential role of CMIS in delivering content-rich applications to busy frontline employees.
