Alfresco’s new enterprise content management product, Alfresco Cloud is designed to be a strong competitor with such products as Box.net, Drop Box and the long list of other cloud based storage applications. This new document management system features an HTML5 interface, better mobile supports all with a cloud-connected content design.
This cloud-connected content program is a solution designed from the beginning to be cloud-based and accessible anywhere, but with the security and governance required by their many different globally located client companies.
Alfresco’s three-step strategy includes launching a public beta version for Alfresco Cloud. The platform includes a number of features such as drag and drop file uploads, file previews, simple workflow and task management. The Alfresco Cloud will also feature cloud connector capabilities as well as integration with Dropbox as well as the ability to follow activity streams on social media platforms and private company collaboration sites.
Alfresco Cloud users can upgrade from a free account to a Team or Enterprise network. Team networks will require a minimum of five users and will include more storage, enhanced support and larger sized file limits as well as exclusive user and network administration features and custom branding as well as other additional features such as LDAP integration and sync with Alfresco Enterprise. There are also apps for mobile devices that allow access to content from any location. Unlike other storage solutions, Alfresco Cloud is designed for teams and when users with the same email domain use Alfresco Cloud we are then added to a private network that allows users to see sites created by others in the same company. Companies can also share 10GB of storage and unlimited numbers of users.
Users are increasingly introducing consumer devices and applications to the enterprise content management. Softbless, an Alfresco service provider and official Liferay partner in Indonesia(2011-2012) understands the struggle to keep pace with this ever increasing demand.
