Jim Robson, Architect at Rothbury Software, led a packed house in a demonstration of what you can do with Adobe Flex and an Alfresco repository.

It was a detailed, step-by-step walk through.

Jim built a simple Flex application, using custom components and leveraging the Flex event framework.

He then integrated it with his Alfresco repository.

All in an hour.

For those who missed the show, we have it recorded.

Alfresco 2.2 has focused on offering content management and collaboration for everyone in the enterprise and has used web 2.0 technologies to bring together content management, collaboration, office and email integration all within one repository.

• Web Farm Deployment Configuration – supports advanced deployment rules for scalable, 3-tier web application architectures with partitioned, replicated deployment
• Site Templating and Branching – enabling rapid creation of new sites from existing templates and ability to baseline major site updates by branching existing site
• Asset Reuse – update and sharing of content across web projects

Alfresco has continued its focus on collaboration and management for the whole enterprise in version 2.2 with enhancements delivering the following capabilities:

• Email-based Collaboration – Email directly into the repository and capture all discussions relating to a specific document
  
  
• Email Archival – Automatic capture and archival of all attached files and email messages
• JMX-based Server Administration – JSR-160 support offering administrators access to Alfresco via a JMX console

Shared Drive

View the webcast

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.

Alfresco’s Virtual File System interfaces provide:

• CIFS (Common Internet File System),
• NFS (Network File System),
• WebDav (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) and
• FTP (File Transfer Protocol) access

to your Alfresco content repositories making, Alfresco as easy to use as a shared drive.

This recorded webinar covers:

• Alfresco’s Virtual File System
• Shared Drive Replacement
• Offline Synchronisation
• Automatic Versioning and Security

Learn how you can replace your shared drive with a enterprise-class content management system.

With no client software.
