Alfresco Content Services for IBM Lotus provides Lotus users with -
- Seamless, fully-featured integration between Alfresco ECM and IBM Lotus social software in record time due to the modern, open, REST-based architecture of Alfresco’s ECM software and the forthcoming Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standard.

- Records Management functionality including 5015.2 certified records management capabilities not available through Microsoft SharePoint.
- Cloud Computing deployment features providing content services for Lotus collaboration in the cloud.
- An economical, scalable and open platform while, unlike Microsoft SharePoint®, allowing flexible access for programmers to extend the integration from Lotus Notes, Domino, XPage and Portal applications using a wide choice of languages, APIs, protocols and services, including Java, JavaScript, JSP, PHP, CMIS, JSR 168k CIFS, IMAP, JCR, WebDAV, FTP, NFS, SMTP, XForms, SOAP, and .net.
- Microsoft Office® Integration – Alfresco Content Services include an implementation of the SharePoint protocol, providing users with seamless access from Microsoft Office, while giving companies the freedom of choice in their IT architecture. Organizations will experience the best of both worlds - providing workers with easy-to-use content management and collaboration tools that integrate with Microsoft Office while lowering overall IT costs and increasing return on existing investments.
