IBM and Microsoft joined iECM. The goals of iECM and CMIS were very similar. It was the democracy of iECM that drove the big ECM vendors to pull out so that they could concentrate on putting together a spec that could work. In the endless iECM meetings and discussions, small time consultants and others who weren't really part of a solution kept bogging down the process. Nothing has come of iECM to this day that I am aware of. It was the right thing for this group to do. EMC and Adobe launched iECM. IBM and Microsoft joined iECM.
