This is a question for the commercial vendors.  Many now output OME-TIFF, so that's a start.  You are asking them to adapt their software to the OMERO API:

Applied Precision also has a product called DMS, which is a data management application built on OMERO Beta 2.3.  We'd love to hear about any others. and certainly happy to support any efforts in this direction.
