In Chapter 2, Creating a Batch Class, we used the Copy Batch XML plugin to export content to the Ephesoft server's filesystem. There are a number of additional export options. The CMIS and DB export plugins use standard-based interfaces to allow export to a large number of enterprise content management systems and relational databases.

The Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) API is an open standard for interacting with enterprise document repositories. You can use the CMIS Export plugin to export your scanned content (and associated metadata) to any repository that supports the CMIS standard, such as Alfresco, Documentum, FileNet, or SharePoint.
