The goal for many companies is to have all employees within the organization use the same content management application to manage and share content both internally and, in some cases, externally. But traditional Enterprise Content Management applications have never really delivered on this vision.
From day one Alfresco wanted to make access to content management services easy. Alfresco is different by…
- Reducing the cost – As an Open Source solution, with a simple to understand pricing model, Alfresco addresses the high costs associated with deploying a traditional Enterprise Content Management solution (see Lower TCO for more details). Removing ‘per seat’ pricing allows anybody to use the solution without having to justify spending more money
- Reducing the complexity – By providing a range of simple to use clients, Alfresco makes it easy for any user to start using Alfresco to manage their documents. They can choose from web clients, IMAP compatible email systems, drag n’ drop file system (through CIFS support) or custom built application to access content
- Reducing deployment tasks – Zero footprint clients, that do not require an IT department to install something on every employees PC, greatly reduces the time and effort to roll out the solution across the organization
- Reducing integration effort – Designed to support a single repository for all content management needs, Alfresco removes the need to integrate disparate technologies to address the full range of a company’s requirements to support team collaboration, document management, web content management and records management
Designed and built by leading industry visionaries, the Alfresco Enterprise Edition content management solution leverages leading, modern day technologies, combined with ease of use to help increase user adoption.
Bottom Line: Alfresco removes many of the traditional barriers that have restricted company wide adoption.
