Alfresco Most Disruptive Player?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The vendor landscape of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is changing.\u00a0 Microsoft is trying hard to commoditize the lower end of the market with Sharepoint.\u00a0 And Open-Source Alfresco is taking head-on traditional commercial ECM vendors.\u00a0 Ovum Research&#8217;s Mike Davis <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/Articles\/2008\/03\/13\/229838\/cut-the-content-management-complexity.htm\">said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span id=\"ArticleBody\">Alfresco has the technical capabilities, and along with Microsoft is likely to be the most disruptive player in the ECM market at the enterprise level in the next five years.\u00a0 Using open source components, Alfresco aims to put together a lighter, faster and more ECM-comprehensive platform&#8230;\u00a0 Using Open Source means that it is written to standards.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span id=\"ArticleBody\">Alfresco has a big advantage over the competition.\u00a0 It&#8217;s technology &#8212; Alfresco is a generation ahead of most other ECM products.\u00a0 Alfresco brought together great developers from ECM leaders like Documentum and InterWoven and their years of ECM experience.\u00a0 While many ECM vendors are saddled by age, legacy code, and integrations of various acquired products and companies, Alfresco started fresh and designed their product from the ground up using the newest technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Alfresco&#8217;s fresh start has provided a flexible platform that can perform like a traditional ECM\u00a0 system, but one that can also integrate smoothly with technologies like Web 2.0, mashups and Facebook.\u00a0 Alfresco simplifies tasks that are often tedious in traditional ECM systems.\u00a0 For example, one way to gain access to Alfresco is via their intelligent Virtual File System &#8212; access files like on a shared drive using CIFS, FTP or WebDav.<br
