Alfresco Honored as Leading Provider of Open Source ECM Software
LONDON, Nov. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Alfresco Software, Inc., the leader in
open source enterprise content management solutions, today announced it has
been named to the seventh annual EContent 100 Awards list. The EContent 100
is made up of companies that have had a significant impact on the digital
content industry. Other winners this year include Apple, Google, IBM and
Microsoft.
EContent Magazine gives the award to the top 100 companies that lead
the digital content industry through market share, but also
thought-and-technology leadership, innovation, and experimentation. This is
the second year in a row that Alfresco has been chosen as a winner of the
EContent 100 for Enterprise Content Management.
"To be recognized once again as a leader in content management
reaffirms that Alfresco has created a valuable open source solution that
fills a significant need for many businesses," said John Powell, CEO of
Alfresco Software. "Companies small and large have to deal with enormous
amounts of content. By using open source technology, Alfresco can provide
an alternative solution to proprietary offerings, which not only matches up
on features and functionality but provides higher quality content
management at a fraction of the cost."
"The EContent 100 list represents the best and the brightest digital
content companies as selected by a dozen judges who follow different
aspects of our vast and varied industry -- from vantage points all over the
map (literally and figuratively)," said Michelle Manafy, editor-in-chief of
EContent Magazine. "We offer this list not just to recognize companies that
lead our industry, but to inspire organizations of all kinds to join in the
content conversation online."
Alfresco recently announced the integration of Alfresco with Facebook
to deliver a platform for developing content-centric applications. This
integration makes publishing content to Facebook as controlled and
effective as publishing to a corporate Web site. The Alfresco Enterprise
Content Network application, which is built on this framework, enables
collaboration and makes secure, audited, sharing of content in Facebook as
simple as sharing a photo. Alfresco is the first of its kind to launch an
enterprise application for Facebook. The company plans to announce details
of the newest edition of Alfresco in December of this year.
