Dramatically Lower Cost

The cost, complexity and lack of portal integration of traditional ECM systems prevent them being rolled out to the enterprise successfully. End users turn to the shared drive for simplicity. This causes content to go uncontrolled, unaudited and undiscovered.

Alfresco have integrated state-of-the-art open source and Java technology such as Spring, Hibernate, Lucene, MyFaces, JSR-168, JSR-170 and web services into a simple-to-use, extensible, Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system. The intelligent repository provides out-of-the-box portal integration and full content control with integrated document management, security, document status and workflow. This allows Alfresco to turn your file system into a simple to use, compliant, auditable repository.
