Alfresco Partner Network
Enterprise Content Management is growing at a forecasted compound annual growth rate of 19%, to be a $3.9bn market by 2008 (Source Forrester, 2005). Recent surveys show 56% of North American firms using open source today with 19% planning on using it. Hand in hand with this trend, open source is moving up the stack from the operating system - Linux, to the RDBMS - MySQL, to the Application Server - JBoss and now to Enterprise Content Management – Alfresco. This presents a tremendous opportunity both for the open source software community and the partner ecosystem around it.
