3. SharePointer or Serial Killer –ResultsFor the record, here are my answers (draw your own conclusions!):1.e (but fail so go with a), 2.c, 3.b, 4.d.This might work for a presentation, but alternatively for teams a 'key learning styles' and 'dominant personality trait' survey will suffice, plus help you build a well balanced team!Maybe those should be an OOtB site survey template?© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

5. Session Agenda Setting the SceneA more useful survey and what users hate The UnveilingWho is that masked killer app? Why Do we need it and what does it do for us? Its Apps and Details What it is, and what it isn’t A Calm Oasis Suck it up and get your JABS here Care-factor Who does, and The LudditesMicroSofty 2010 Why it’s a winner, but don’t forget 2007 The Timetable For MS and the REST of them What it Looks Like Where to pigeonhole it Get Ready What should we do about it Further Resources Where to find out more Questions And even maybe some answers© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

6. A More Useful SurveyTo set the scene, ask yourself these questions:How many content stores (silos!) do you have?Do you have one interface to access them?Can you search across them?How do you intend to upgrade or change them?Are you considering buying new tools to help with these issues?Do you have a policy or architectural standard to guide these IM decisions?© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

10. (WHAT’S THE STORY) MORNING GLORY ?Initiated, backed & driven by MS, EMC and IBM – small suppliers thenSorry, it’s actually an interface standard  – a snappy name as usualHow would they name an e-book like the Kindle? – Advanced Personal Productivity Leveraging Enterprise’s Information Publishing Access DeviceAPP LEIP AD?© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

11. “The last major enabler required for enterprise-widecontent and knowledge management” - MeEMC CTO“The SQL of content”IBM Architect Al BrownStandardisation grew RDB market 10 - 20 times. CMIS is this for ECM.Targets core (“good enough”) DMS functionality – a domain model over service and web style protocolsA Vendor standard – can be added to for product ‘differentiation’Open source vendor early adopters – also iPhone, Android, Adobe AIR and browser plug-insForward looking integrators and ecosystem suppliers – they can see the opportunities© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

12. Why do we need it?Nuxeo CMIS Overview (slide 8)© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

13. What will it do for you?No more vendor lock-inMaybe! As a vendor standard they are free to extend it, and there are some optional elements...Easier upgrades and migrationsContent stored everywhere, accessed anywhere.No more silos?Probably not, as this depends on YOU. E.g. No central meta data definition, no directory/discovery service, no central policy/rule enforcement, no events…© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

14. What else will it do for you?Language Agnostic & more than File ManagementAddresses DMS to DMS, some Web content needsConsumption in mash-ups, and search accessCan be bolted on to any existing app, or store.CMIS already exists for files systemsHow long before we see CMIS servers? Remember Pick, Oracle Internet FS, WinFS (ok, bad examples!)May be added to browsers ‘OOtB’Even if it only impacts ECM, that’s huge for all of us© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

23. CMIS – detailsVersion 1.0 voting closes on 30th April Needs 49 yes and 0 no votes. Watch the votes here:http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ballot.php?id=1864UPDATE: Made it with a record 74 to 0 votes!Don’t worry, I’m not going to open up the standard! Once again, only if you have insomniaInitial DMS and SOAP history shows in design details i.e. don’t expect web content bells and whistlesIncludes an extension of SQL for search access. But missing search result ranking when federating© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

24. CMIS – more detailsDomain model has four primary data typesDocuments, folders, relationships, policies, & collections.Supports eight channels (aka web services)Repository, Navigation, Object, Multi-Filing, Discovery, Relationship, Policies and ACL.WCF deliversMTOM, WS-I Basic Profile 1.1, Basic Security Profile 1.0 & WS-Security 1.1.CMIS 2.0 requirements already being collated© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

25. What it isn’t (yet)The interface provides the basics only.That’s why CMIS 2.0 is a real opportunity.It’s not complete for full ECM, Web Content Management, Source Control or Web 2But it is already being co-opted & extended in these roles. A magic bullet.The integrators have recognised that it will give them access to a huge ecosystem, but the decisions around discovery, what the meta data means and where that data should go will still be their bread and butter.Not the only game in town.© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

26. An OASIS , or get JABS here?Just Another Bloody Standard?Yes, but soon to be ubiquitous plumbing you just use New technology?Nothing new to see here – all proven and working today.Vendor Support?From the smallest to largest across many markets they are there, or will be soon. I’ll cover timelines &laggards later.Alternatives?There are other standards that will stay relevant & overlap, such as JCR, WebDav & ODMA, but they are different. © Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

27. An OASIS , or get JABS here?Obsolescence?Eventually as CMIS 2 takes off. But V1 gets us most of the way there, which is a million miles from now. Is SQL dead?An old problem who’s days have passed?EMC CTO: estimates 80% of information is unstructured, but only 20-30% of that lives in organisations’ CM systems.The problem is growing.Of course, 87.3% of statistics are made up on the spot© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

50. The LaggardsAnd even one of the Big BoysLast I asked, HP TRIM didn’t know about CMIS. I’ll let Jeremy Thake enlighten us, but here is confirmation from elsewhere:http://wordofpie.com/2009/10/29: <SNIP>“HP: Every year, I grow more disappointed. Tower TRIM was a fairly solid product. Even after the acquisition, it still is, but it feels static. While other vendors have taken their roots and made them an application on the ECM foundation, HP has kept RM as the foundation. This is fine for an Enterprise-class RM system, but not for an ECM system. Also, as of September, their field people did not even know what CMIS was.”</SNIP>© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

51. Gartner: SharePoint 2010 Steps Up to ECM PlateFeb report: “Wait for SP 1”!IM “policy-based information management” enterprises love“Microsoft evolves SharePoint to include richer content management functionality. Gartner expects it to compete increasingly in the traditional high-end content management market”© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

52. Microsoft announced they will Support CMIS 1.0The spec says they MUST support REST/AtomPub & SOAPCMIS 1.0 in SP Admin Toolkit by “end of June 2010”With V1 at end of April, they missed SP2010 releaseAlthough stable, CMIS awaits ratification of V 1.0SP2010 RTM, 16th AprilOn MSDN, 22nd AprilEnterprise Agreement Customers, 27th AprilRelease date, 12th MayGeneral Availability, 16th June© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

53. Who Wins?SP2010 plays in ALL the markets / use casesNo other vendor does this in one productMash-ups, WCM, Publishing, DMS, Enterprise portals...As ecosystem suppliers adopt CMIS, all those must have scanning, renditions and document control tools become available to SharePointIt’s open interface + CMIS won’t loose it market share.Big enterprise loves to reduce the number of suppliers.© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

54. Who Wins?SP2010 is more useable and familiarThey might not love it, but they get it and are ‘empowered’Whereas DMS/ECM systems are heavily controlledOffice integration (whether oData, CMISed or custom) is a major seller.© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

55. SP2010 WinsSP2010 had made a big step into ECM territoryBut the big ECM guys still think REST is a quick nap.With SP as the front end to content & data, why keep moving it elsewhere?But have to admit things like document sets and rendering abilities aren’t BOB, so the fight will continue.© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au

56. SP 2007 & OthersSharePoint 2007No Microsoft news if they will provide a pack to enable CMIS hereThe issue is how much of the new SP2010 capabilities are usedDon’t expect it soon, &will have major implementation differencesWho else in SP 2007 and .net?You can do it yourself . Use WCF and be selectiveCodePlex has NCMIS and CMIS4SharePoint. Leverage them.But they are immature and incomplete, and need to work together!Microsoft’s CMIS in SP2007 demo was a half baked Silverlight webpart.Therefore not representative of 2010 approach, and don’t copy them!Others?Open source (xCMIS, Apache Chem) have frameworks in Java, PHP, Python…© Seven Sigma Business Solutions. www.sevensigma.com.au
