Maximize the Value of Enterprise Content
Content chaos results when documents are stored in multiple places—on laptops and USB sticks, in email and network drives, and across various file-sharing sites. These content siloes are a drain on business productivity and increase security risks.
Alfresco’s document management software brings company content under control. Important files—like legal contracts, marketing assets and engineering documents—are easily found, shared and secured. What’s more, Alfresco maximizes the value of content by integrating it into core business processes. Information flows to the right person, at the right time, in the applications and devices people use to get their jobs done.
“Due to the ease of use and integration capabilities in the working environment of our employees we have achieved an extremely high level of acceptance and effectiveness using Alfresco.”
- Arno Hagen, IT Project Manager, Leica Geosystems

Alfresco makes it easy for people to quickly locate the exact document they need from among many thousands, even hundreds of thousands of files.
- Amazon-style search features, including instant search suggestions and simple search filtering, speed the retrieval of relevant content.
