Company Strengthens Position as Leading Alternative To Proprietary
Enterprise Content Management Systems
LONDON, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Alfresco Software, Inc., the leader in
open source enterprise content management (ECM), today announced that
leading entertainment and media organizations are adopting Alfresco's Web
Content Management (WCM) software to power their dynamic and interactive
Web 2.0 sites. Sony Pictures Imageworks Interactive and Film Solutions LLC
have joined the growing list of entertainment and media companies that have
chosen Alfresco's open source software to help power their businesses.
Alfresco's entertainment customers also include video game companies such
as Activision and Electronic Arts, as well as Sesame Workshop.
"Our Alfresco-supported online production tools will truly change
Hollywood culture by automating many of the labor intensive, paper-based
management functions that film and television production houses are using
today," said Kevin Matossian, founder, Film Solutions, LLC. "We chose
Alfresco as our content management platform because it is open source and
met our requirements for scalability and flexibility. None of the other
solutions we considered even came close in terms of value to cost."
Winning these latest customers in entertainment and media caps another
successful quarter for Alfresco, strengthening its position as one of the
most mature open source companies in business today. Alfresco has seen its
customer ranks swell to more than 300, its community grow to 20,000
registered participants, and its open source ECM software downloaded
700,000 times.
"Alfresco is at the forefront of WCM innovation, delivering Web 2.0
capabilities that are easy to use and integrate with existing tools. It is
this new level of content management -- which leverages Web 2.0
functionality from inside and outside an organization -- that is especially
appealing to consumer-focused entertainment and media companies," said Marc
Osofsky, vice president of marketing at Optaros.
"The influential media and entertainment industry sets the benchmark
for online customer interactivity and community models to drive consumer
loyalty. Corporations in other industries increasingly look to these
next-generation sites to set the standard for future site development and
investment," said John Powell, CEO and co-founder of Alfresco. "More and
more, we are seeing such organizations wishing to invest in next-generation
WCM capabilities, while reducing IT development and support costs.
Alfresco's open source model enables our customers to achieve these goals."
