Replacing your Shared Drive with Alfresco

Shared Drive
The worlds most popular content management system is…
The Shared Drive.
It is comfortingly familiar to users.
Most workers in the corporate environment have heard of, or used, a shared drive before.
But the shared drive comes with its own challenges.
- It can be difficult to find content.
- It can be difficult to capture context – often this is squeezed into a very long file name, if at all.
- And how do you know that you’re using the right version of the file?
- What is someone else has modified the file, but not loaded it back to the shared dirve?
The challenges go beyond that – how do you control who has what rights to each document?
And how do you facilitate on-line, asynchronous collaboration on each document?
It can be cumbersome, if not impossible in some instances.
Alfresco not only takes on the significant strengths of the Shared Drive, but also complements its shortcomings.
