Tread carefully 

This is one of the first areas you will see Softimage being left behind big 
time… and sooner or later a lack of communication between applications as old 
versions will be (I suspect) discontinued.

Alembic is already on v1.7.4 and I doubt the most modern features and 
implementation is evolving at all in Softimage while it certainly is for other 
applications.

Same for FBX…
