EMC, IBM, and Microsoft have drafted Content Management Interoperability Services ( CMIS), a proposed standard for a set of web services for sharing information among disparate content repositories. CMIS is designed to solve a difficult business problem—ensuring interoperability for people and applications using multiple content repositories.
CMIS focuses on the basic content capabilities of an ECM system—the create, read, write, delete, and query functions. When deployed, CMIS ensures interoperability by defining how these core content management capabilities function in a uniform manner over a variety of ECM systems. Beyond this limited (albeit important) set of operations, CMIS does not seek to standardize other capabilities of a content repository. Nor does CMIS seek to standardize the administrative functions supported by each ECM system.

On January 27, 2010, Oracle completed the acquisition of Sun Microsystems.
The acquisition combines best-in-class enterprise software and mission-critical computing systems. Oracle plans to engineer and deliver an integrated system—applications to disk—where all the pieces fit and work together so customers do not have to do it themselves. Customers benefit as their system integration costs go down while system performance, reliability and security go up.
