Alfresco Consulting

Alfresco Consulting is a small, strategic practice of experienced technical consultants whose mission is to maximise Alfresco customer success via for-fee consulting engagements. Our role in customer and partner projects is as the Alfresco subject matter expert, mitigating the technology risks around customising Alfresco and providing best practice expertise and specific guidance on how Alfresco’s capabilities can best be leveraged to meet the requirements of the customer. Unlike many traditional Professional Services groups we do not provide large scale development services – for that we leverage our extensive network of Systems Integration Partners, whom we often work closely with on specific customer accounts.

Our engagement model is very flexible – consulting packages are purchased on a day-rate basis, and can be used by the customer on an ad-hoc basis; the majority of these services can be provided remotely. Additional information is available at http://www.alfresco.com/services/consulting/
