Your enterprise content is in here somewhere. (it’s time for a new approach to content management)
2012Alfresco aims to disrupt the industry again, with the power of the cloud
What is Cloud Connected Content? • Accessible from any device – phone, tablet, PC • Integrated & even synced with other cloud services • Easily published to social media channels • Collaborated on inside or outside the firewall • Yet, still controlled and administered by the Enterprise
Why isn’t it available today? • Legacy proprietary vendors are trapped in legacy architecture • Can’t deliver a true multi-tenanted, integrated cloud solution • Mobile apps only work with on-premise service • No integrations with cloud services or social media • Hard (and risky) to adapt their license business model to the cloud • Up-start, cloud-only vendors lack depth, integration & customization • Don’t deliver full enterprise control over security & policy • Don’t deliver on-premise or behind-the-firewall options • One-size-fits-all approach doesn’t fit business processes
