2.90:CMIS+ (Concept)

All content platforms are exposed to Grooper under a single framework as if they were CMIS endpoints. CMIS+ provides standardized access to document content and metadata across a variety of external storage platforms including:

• CMIS connections
• FTP directories
• Microsoft SharePoint sites
• Email servers
• NTFS file system.

The settings and programming used to connect Grooper to a storage platform is contained in a CMIS Binding. For example, the AppXtender Binding contains all the information Grooper uses to connect to the ApplicationXtender content management system.

Using this architecture, Grooper is able to create a more standardized import and export workflow. The CMIS Import and CMIS Export providers are configured the same, regardless of the storage platform used. They connect to a CMIS Repository imported from a previously created CMIS Connection and use that as Grooper's import or export path.

Only how you create a CMIS Connection differs from CMIS Binding to CMIS Binding.
