LONDON, Dec. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Alfresco Software, Inc., the leader in

such as financial performance, innovation, management, global strategy, and
ecosystem integration.

prestigious award," said John Powell, CEO of Alfresco Software. "Red
Herring's designation is further validation of our success and Alfresco's
leading position in Open Source Enterprise Content Management."

throughout the world. The company now has more than 300 customers,
including the American Stock Exchange, Boise Cascade, Christian Science
Monitor, Informa and the Nebraska State Legislature. The community version
of Alfresco's open source ECM has been downloaded over 700,000 times.
