Alfresco Share Interface

Enables global teams to collaborate on content, with new social features like status updates, content activity streams, tagging & search

Automatic Version Control

Easily allows users to track major and minor versions of documents with an audit trail

Microsoft Office Integration

Alfresco looks just like SharePoint to Microsoft Office, allowing users to upload, check-in, check-out and modify content right from Office

Inline Preview

Preview popular file types (like Microsoft Office documents, PDFs and images) directly within your browser, without having to download them

Easy as a Shared Drive

With support for CIFS and WebDav, you can drag and drop files right into Alfresco just like a shared network drive

Drag & Drop From Email

Alfresco can be mounted as an IMAP service in your email client, so that you can drag and drop content into Alfresco right from email

Folder-based Rules & Actions

Much like Outlook or Gmail folder rules, business users can create simple document workflows by themselves

Automated Rules and Actions

Simple to configure rules can be used to automate document-related processes

Lightweight Scripts

Lightweight scripting allows developers to create new reusable components using Javascript, PHP, and freemarker

Custom Types

Developers can define unique Types and the associated metadata (information)

Powerful Aspects

More powerful than Types is the ability to create Aspects. Aspects can hold a set of custom metadata and be applied to any document, regardless of content type

Workflow

Alfresco provides workflow to help automate the processing of documents. Based on jBPM, Alfresco workflows can be built to support simple review and approval processes or can be configured to support more complex business processes

Transformation Services

Alfresco provides the ability to automatically create more than one document format for any content within the system. For example, Microsoft Word documents can have a PDF version automatically created at the end of an approval workflow for later publication on the website

Zero Foot Print Clients

By adopting industry standards interfaces (i.e. CIFS, IMAP, the SharePoint Protocol, etc.) Alfresco does not require users to install any software or plugins on their local PC

High Scalability

Architected to support a large number of users and to be able to manage very high volumes of content

Replication

Content can be replicated between Alfresco systems. Remote offices can have read-only access to content locally providing them with quick access and reducing wide area network traffic

Clustering

Simple to configure clustering allows companies to scale their Alfresco deployment

JMX Administration

Simple administration, changing server settings, can be done via standard JMX tools without the need to stop the Alfresco server

Standards Driven

Alfresco has been built on leading industry standards, including; REST, RSS, Atom publishing, JSON, OpenSearch, OpenSocial, OpenID, Web Services, JSR 168, JSR 170 level 2, MyFaces, CIFS, FTP, WebDAV, SQL, ODF and CMIS
