Partners With Alfresco Software, Allowing Federal And State Customers To
Buy Alfresco ECM Solutions Via GSA
WASHINGTON, March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Alfresco Software, Inc., the
leader in open source enterprise content management (ECM), today announced
the award of a GSA listing, GS-35F-0131R, providing government customers
with the ability to conveniently purchase and deploy Alfresco ECM
solutions.
Alfresco is unique in producing a full enterprise content management
system based on open source software and open standards, enabling
unprecedented scale, rapid innovation, community contributions to the
product development and a much lower total cost of ownership than
proprietary systems.
Alfresco has seen major adoption of its open source ECM system
throughout the world with over one million product downloads, more than
20,000 active product deployments and a customer base of more than 300
enterprise accounts, including federal, state and local government
organizations such as the Federal Aviation Authority, State of Nebraska and
NASA.
Alfresco's inclusion on the GSA schedule is enabled by an agreement
with Carahsoft Technology, a leading government IT solutions provider in
Reston, Virginia, that represents a select group of top-tier software and
hardware manufacturers. Under the terms of this agreement, Carahsoft, which
serves as a master aggregator for numerous best-of-breed open source
vendors, has placed Alfresco's products onto the Carahsoft Technology Corp.
GSA schedule effective November 19, 2004 through November 19, 2009.
"Alfresco's ECM solutions are an excellent complement to our growing
portfolio of open source technologies," said Craig P. Abod, president of
Carahsoft. "We are pleased to add the firm's software to our GSA schedule
to address the growing demand for these extremely cost-effective, scalable
and interoperable solutions, as well as provide our reseller partners with
access to this industry-leading open source ECM platform."
"Alfresco provides clients with robust and innovative ECM capabilities
at a fraction of the cost of proprietary software," said John Powell, CEO
and co-founder of Alfresco Software. "With demand increasing for Alfresco
Software in the government sector, the new GSA contract schedule makes it
easier for our customers to buy and deploy our solutions. Carahsoft's
proven track record in serving enterprise government clients and their
ability to provide superior service to our government customer base makes
them an ideal partner for Alfresco."
