Company Profile
Alfresco’s full ECM suite (Web content, document, records and image management) is the open source alternative to products such as Microsoft® SharePoint®, EMC® Documentum® and Interwoven®. It is five times faster and ten times more cost-effective than the proprietary alternatives and has been designed to enable wider enterprise adoption (content management for the masses) by addressing traditional ECM challenges related to:
Alfresco is a simple and intuitive system featuring familiar interfaces that reflect existing tools and environments which business users understand: shared file drives and Web search engines. Designed for a federated world, rather than centralized, it meets the needs of departments or individuals, while still providing full audit control of enterprise content.
Alfresco offers similar advantages for web content management. Alfresco is standards-based, process-driven, fault-tolerant, and scalable. It provides full content lifecycle management with sandbox and virtualization support. This enables a user to privately update a website in their sandbox and preview those changes on a virtualized version of the live website. Auditing and snapshotting enables auditing not only of individual assets but whole websites with immediate full-site rollback available. This is designed for the management of next generation Rich Internet Applications and Web 2.0 sites. For competitive enterprises, this means a more agile web presence, better quality content, lower risks and costs of deployment, guaranteed compliance with existing regulations, and easy migration of content.
Alfresco has been downloaded more than 700,000 times, has over 20,000 community members, and more than 300 paying customers including major global corporations such as: Activision, American Stock Exchange, CBS Interactive, Christian Science Monitor, David Poll and Wardwell, Electronic Arts, European Commission, FAA, H&R Block, MIT, Ministry of Defense, NASA, Raleys, Sesame Workshop, and Shimano Americas.
