Alfresco was founded in 2005 by John Newton, co-founder of Documentum, and John Powell, former COO of Business Objects. Its investors include leading investment firms Accel Partners, Mayfield Fund and SAP Ventures.

Alfresco is the leading open source alternative for enterprise content management (ECM). It couples the innovation of open source with the stability of a true enterprise-class platform.

The open source model allows Alfresco to use best-of-breed open source technologies and contributions from the open source community, to get higher quality software produced more quickly at a much lower cost.

Alfresco's goal is to not only provide an open source offering, but also to surpass commercial ECM offerings in terms of features, functionality and benefits to the user community.

Alfresco continues to demonstrate a bit more edge thinking in the world of ECM than their commercial counterparts IBM, EMC, Oracle, and Open Text.

Kyle McNabb, Principal Analyst, Forrester

Alfresco Team

Alfresco is built by a team of leading members from Documentum, FileNet, OpenText, Vignette and Interwoven with vast experience in ECM including the co-founder of Documentum, John Newton, and former COO of Business Objects, John Powell.

Alfresco Innovation

The track record of the Alfresco team has enabled Alfresco to rapidly become the leading open source enterprise content management system. This has allowed it to communicate with governments and corporations at a high level to shape open source strategies. Alfresco continues to drive industry innovation with the following milestones:

  • Surpassed the 2 million software downloads mark
  • Released the first Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) implementation
  • Contributed Spring Surf, the largest Spring Extension to date, to Spring community
  • First open source Records Management software to gain DoD 5015.02 certification
  • First implementation of the SharePoint Protocol
  • World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer

Alfresco Architecture

The Alfresco content platform uses flexible, open standards architecture to provide document management, web content management, records management and collaboration software to 1100 enterprise customers in 40 countries. Integrations exist for SAP, IBM Lotus, Microsoft Office, SharePoint, and Google Docs. Alfresco is built using the latest open source infrastructure components including: Spring, Hibernate, Lucene, and MyFaces, and is based on Aspect Oriented Programming.

Alfresco Support and Subscription Services

Alfresco’s low cost subscription model helps organizations make significant cost savings on recurring maintenance fees a reality, while enabling them to maintain 'business as usual' with their content services. Alfresco does not charge traditional license fees and this scalable model allows companies of any size to deploy the solution. Like many open source vendors, Alfresco offers customers a Support Subscription which provides users access to:

  • Technical Support Services
  • Maintenance fixes, patches, and updates
  • Engineering support / Escalations
  • Alfresco Network – End user support portal
  • Certified stress tested builds
  • Access to the Alfresco Enterprise software
Alfresco’s support for open standards, flexible architecture, rich functionality and low cost means that we can begin to standardize on one ECM system while being mindful of budgetary constraints.

Chuck Fredrick, Director, Enterprise Applications for the City of Denver
