Some Alfresco features

Cost Efficiency No upfront license fee. Our subscription-based model covers all upgrades and maintenance—allowing scale without counting CALs or concurrent users or worrying about true up. We are also virtualization and cloud-friendly. 

Lower Risk Alfresco offers a single repository for all electronic documents, workflow portfolios and other unstructured content—reducing information silos and redundant data. Unified management of all electronic files reduces maintenance, leverages a single content standard, and removes end user complexity and versioning errors. 

Compliance The Alfresco Platform simplifies recordkeeping and our automated document retention and destruction models enable regulatory compliance created by the Dodd-Frank Act and BASEL III. Alfresco provides fully automated routines that convert documents from proprietary formats into long-term archival formats, such as PDF/A and ODF. The Alfresco’s Records Management module is DoD 5015.02 Certified. 

Open Standards Alfresco interoperates with existing front-end applications, desktop software and enterprise infrastructure. Use protocols like CMIS, CIFS, WebDAV, RESTful APIs and Soap—our open approach makes innovation and adoption easy and minimizes expensive recoding. Administrators can define unique metadata to support business needs and dramatically improve contextual search. 

Business Process Alfresco can leverage existing organizational workflows, and provides award-winning BPM capabilities that can reduce your firm’s decision cycle times and increase productivity. The audit capability tracks who did what and when for each record and automatically prompts users when records are reviewable, in process or approved.
