Alfresco sees a world where organizations build their digital operations for competitive advantage.
Alfresco CEO Bernadette Nixon said: “We are delighted to be recognized by Ovum as a ‘Leader’ in The ECM Ovum Decision Matrix. The report noted that ‘the use of open source is growing in popularity, especially since several governments have recommended that public sector bodies implement open source solutions where possible.’ The report also captured the fact that ‘Alfresco is the first [and only] open source vendor to offer US DoD [5015.02] certified records management, a requirement for many government departments as well as local and regional governments.’”
According to the Ovum report: “Alfresco is ideally positioned with a strong customer presence in the public sector and government agencies. The Alfresco Digital Business Platform offers the ability to seamlessly integrate records management into business processes and automate the complete record lifecycle — from capture through retention to final destruction.”
The Alfresco Digital Business Platform connects people, processes and systems seamlessly, and delivers content to the people who need it when they want it. This in turn enables Alfresco’s customers to turn their content into knowledge through scalable processes built for their business, while protecting it with powerful governance capabilities. The Digital Business Platform is a fully integrated platform that provides a flexible, agile framework that customers can use to build their own unique process and content-centric digital experiences.
The Ovum report observed that “Agile development, microservices, DevOps, and containerized deployments are all required elements of a modern IT architecture, and Alfresco delivers on all of these. Cloud is also an important component of modernization, particularly when combined with mobile access to content, and again Alfresco is able to offer flexible deployment models, allowing enterprises to move to the cloud in an orderly manner.”
