Common Object Management Service (COMS)


Using COMS, take advantage of more cost-effective storage solutions for your new or existing business applications. COMS is a secure REST API that lets you connect your application to an S3 bucket. In S3, you can store and share files, images, and documents with co-workers, partners, or the public.

Onboarding Options

COMS is now available as a shared hosted service as well as an application that you can customise and deploy in your own infrastructure. See our documentation of hosting considerations and deployment guide in the COMS wiki.

We have also launched BCBox, a user-interface for managing files, integrated with the hosted COMS service.
