Three reasons to list CMIS in your Document Management RFP
First off let me state boldly and clearly CMIS is an important document management (a.k.a., ECM) standard, the most important standard. But if your world is solely one of HTML and CSS then you can stop reading right here...
CMIS (Content Management Interoperability Standard) was recently ratified by OASIS and is already appearing in many RFPs. Nevertheless, it is a little misunderstood by some, and at times gets overlooked or misplaced. So here are three concise and valid reasons for putting CMIS on your list of RFP requirements.
1) If you have legacy document repositories, add CMIS to your list of requirements.
Almost every large organization has a collection of legacy DM and ECM repositories, closing those down or migrating content out of them can be tortuous and expensive, sometimes near impossible. Building a CMIS interface and federating access and viewing (no matter how basic) may well be your best option.
2) If the system you buy has a CMIS API, then you go some way to avoiding vendor lock-in at a future point.
CMIS in and off itself cannot resolve all the issues of vendor lock tricks, but its a great step in the right direction.
3) (And don't underestimate the value of this one) You demonstrate to the vendors on your shortlist your intentions and industry savvy.
When a vendor sees a specification or standard such as CMIS or XAM on an RFP they know you have done your homework, they know you are aware that committing to a vendors proprietary system can be difficult and costly, and that you intend to do what you can to mitigate against that risk.
Let's be clear about this, CMIS is important for the sole fact that it is simple (today) and should actually work. It does have the support of all the major vendors in the sector, but their enthusiasm can wane at the drop of a hat. Particularly as CMIS is a standard that empowers buyers and users of the technology, but not the vendors so much -- so the only way to ensure its success is for buyers to demand compliance from product vendors.
We work with buyers and users of document management and ECM technology every day. We help them construct RFPs, we shortlist and hand-hold our advisory clients and subscribers all the way from initial strategy through to the conclusion of the selection process. Our world is not one of expensive dinners at the vendors' expense and optimistic market forecasting. It is a world spent at the coalface. The global organizations we are working with are dealing with the dull and grinding issues that relate to legacy, integration, migration, and implementation. For them, CMIS is no silver bullet, but it's far better than nothing. And nothing is exactly what we had prior to CMIS.

Good news for content management vendors: IDC
Many enterprises in the Asia Pacific intend to invest more in document management software, according to Research house IDC, which is good news for content management software vendors.
Many enterprises in the Asia Pacific intend to invest more in document management software, according to Research house IDC, which is good news for content management software vendors.
IDC has released the findings of its research in a report entitled "Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) content management pulse check, adoption drivers, and barriers in 2009: what are buyers prioritizing?"
The research - conducted in the first half of 2009 - found that record management software is the next priority for APEJ enterprises among all other content management (CM) software.
Ridhi Sawhney, market analyst of Asia/Pacific software research at IDC noted that the most important function for CM software is to manage content published on the Web.
The research firm expects CM market in the APEJ region to grow steadily at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.42 per cent. At this rate, this market will reach US$ 308.42 million by 2013.
A bright CM future
The future looks good for most respondents as they intend to increase their investment on CM software currently deployed. Both India and the People's Republic of China are currently using maximum records and document management amongst the countries surveyed. Enterprises in these nations intend to increase their spending in the next 18 months, said IDC.
The top slot for this market is taken by IBM, EMC, HP, Oracle and Interwoven. Collectively, these five vendors represent approximately 58 per cent of the CM market in the APEJ region.
Although this market is currently ruled by US based companies, local vendors, like Newgen Software and Cyberdime, are catching up fast and are counted among the top 10 players in the region.
IDC says information that has to be managed is increasing each day and is accompanied by mounting regulatory pressure. The situation has further been complicated with disparate applications with isolated data repositories, and IT managers must seek ways to deal with the situation.
Sawhney said these factors have driven the demand for content management software. Legacy businesses and developing countries require these types of applications as organizations strive to transition from manual overlay systems to automated systems.
More investment in coming months
Records management is used for regulatory requirements and business processes while Web CM is used for various purposes such as enhancing and reinforcing brand and building customer loyalty. Web CM also helps in the acceleration of delivery of new products and services and creation of competitive advantage.
