One might have expected Adobe to home-grow this kind of high-profile technology or to go with a brand-name infrastructure vendor like EMC or Oracle.<\/p>\n<p>Adobe&#8217;s Acrobat.com has the following capabilities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Adobe Buzzword<\/strong>.  Web-based word processing for collaboration<\/li>\n<li><strong>ConnectNow<\/strong>.  Personal web conferencing that lets users share desktops, video and voice conferencing<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create PDF<\/strong>.  Service top convert files to PDF format<\/li>\n<li><strong>Share<\/strong>.  Web-based file-exchange hub without the need to use email.<\/li>\n<li><strong>MyFiles<\/strong>.  Storage for your on-line documents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This follows up on an earlier announcement by Adobe of the integration of Adobe LiveCycle ES and Alfresco ECM products.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Alfresco approach towards coming head to head with Sharepoint is winning attention:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Alfresco is ahead of the ECM pack with its SharePoint integration, <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"451 Group on Alfresco\" href=\"http:\/\/reddevnews.com\/news\/devnews\/article.aspx?editorialsid=1129\">says Kathleen Reidy<\/a>, senior analyst at research firm The 451 Group. The most compelling short-term news is that they have that Office-level integration, Reidy says. That makes it a lot more viable for IT management to say, &#8216;We&#8217;re going to pull out the SharePoint Server or complement the SharePoint Server with Alfresco.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Making the Alfresco solution unique versus other open source ECM offerings is that competing solutions require a plug-in, according to Reidy. I&#8217;m not aware of anyone else that has done that protocol-level integration at this point, she says.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div
