Nuxeo Content Management Platform Certified as Content Source for Liferay Portal

Open source content management platform Nuxeo announced that Liferay, a provider of enterprise-class open source portal, has certified the Nuxeo Platform as a content source for Liferay Portal 6.1 Enterprise Edition (EE).

Both Nuxeo and Liferay platforms are compliant with the OASIS CMIS (Content Management Interoperability Services) standard.

The new certification, in combination with Liferay Portal 6.1's improved document management capabilities, allows enterprises to integrate multiple enterprise repositories, including Nuxeo, and manage and access their documents across Liferay applications.

“Liferay is pleased to partner with another document repository vendor that supports the CMIS standard,” said Mike Young, Liferay's chief technology officer, in a statement. “The addition of the Nuxeo Platform as a content source for the Liferay platform is yet another win for our clients, who work with Liferay in mixed enterprise software environments and look to Liferay to simplify document management and access.”

With   Nuxeo, users can create, review, and manage documents, and CMIS enables this content to be accessed via Liferay Portal and other CMIS consumers. Further, this interoperability ensures that content can remain in the Nuxeo repository, eliminating the need to copy documents from one tool to another.

The integration allows content such as documents and images from a Nuxeo Document Management or Digital Asset Management application to be referenced directly by a Liferay Web portal via the Liferay Documents and Media Gallery. This is done through a CMIS-based connector that enables a Nuxeo content repository to interface seamlessly with the Liferay Document Repository.

“This tested and certified connection with Liferay Portal is a compelling offer for our clients,” said Nuxeo CEO Eric Barroca, in a statement. “The Nuxeo Platform is optimized for handling documents and content-centric business processes that are internal to an organization. With Liferay Portal, we offer our clients more options for how to manage documents and deliver them to portals, websites, and applications.”

Back in December, Nuxeo announced a partnership with Temis, a provider of Semantic Content Enrichment Platforms for the Enterprise, to integrate the high-performance semantic content enrichment on the Nuxeo content management platform through Temis' flagship Luxid platform.
