Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) connector for SharePoint 2010 will be part of the Admin Toolkit this summer

Today at the http://www.aiimexpo.com/conference-info/sharepoint-2010-summit-aiim-expo, Eric Swift (@eswift), General Manager of SharePoint Marketing announced that Microsoft will be shipping the CMIS Connector for SharePoint as part of the SharePoint Administrator Toolkit by the end of June 2010.

The Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) specification defines a means of accessing enterprise content management (ECM) repositories independent of their platform or language. CMIS is on its way right now to OASIS for advancement through its rigorous standards development process. Microsoft, along with IBM, EMC and several other content management vendors developed the specification in response to customer requests for interoperability between multiple document repositories.

For further details on CMIS read the announcement of the CMIS Connector for SharePoint on the Microsoft Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Team Blog.
