The World needs an alternative to SharePoint

View the webcast

SharePoint has been incredibly successful for group and departmental collaboration. Especially when it comes to managing Office documents.

However, it has not succeeded in displacing Enterprise Content Management solutions. ECM solutions still have a place in the Enterprise, and now co-exist along with SharePoint.

This webinar describes how Alfresco Share, part of the Alfresco 3.0 Enterprise release, offers a great experience for team collaboration.

In addition to Alfresco Share, Alfresco introduces SharePoint protocol support, which allows Microsoft Office users to use Alfresco as the back-end, negating one of the key advantages of SharePoint.

This webinar focuses on the core use cases of Sharepoint - collaboration and light enterprise content management.

• Lower Total Cost of Ownership.
• Operating expense versus Capital expense.
• Re-use of existing technical skills.
• Increased scalability.
• More flexibility in infrastructure choices.
