On September 29, 2011, the workshop ‘’Breakfast with Enterprise Content Management technologies’’, which gathered many clients from the public, banking, telecommunications, and IT sectors, was held in CROZ’s education center.

Current technologies that deal with the acquisition, storage, and processing of documents in addition to business process management were discussed at this workshop.

The breakfast was opened by Roko Roić introduced the basic concepts of Enterprise Content Management as a strongly connected series of methodologies and tools that cover the area of document management and the processes related to its contents.

Jan Čustović’s presentation on Alfresco ECM and Davor Čengija’s presentation on the IBM BPM (Business Process Management) platform as the right solution to implementing business processes were especially interesting.

Our experts at this workshop thoroughly presented Alfresco ECM, an enterprise open source system by Alfresco Inc. which offers a complete stack of ECM products and the CMIS standard. Namely, standardizing communication between different systems is a necessity in the IT industry and the vendors of the Enterprise Content Management system responded to this challenge by defining Content Management Interoperability Services.

CMIS is an SOA layer that defines communication protocol and query language and is standardized protocol for retrieving data from the ECM system. CMIS is the counterpart for SQL in the ECM industry and it is an important lever in all migration processes and system development processes on the ECM platforms.
