In document management, ArchiveLink will not survive the cloud era and will be replaced by the cloud-optimized interface standard CMIS. Before or during the S/4HANA or cloud transformation, you have to take this into account and therefore familiarize yourself with the new technology. Benny Schröder, Head of R&D at kgs, gives an all-round view of CMIS.

Using customer examples and use cases, he explains what the switch from ArchiveLink to CMIS means, how to make the transition, what happens to old ArchiveLink documents and what opportunities the new interface brings. The archive expert also offers suggestions on when an early switch may be worthwhile, saying, "The S/4HANA transformation and migration to the cloud are currently top priorities for many IT decision-makers. The challenges this poses for document management are often not known or are still unresolved."
