New Approach towards Content Management for the innovative Enterprise

Alfresco One Platform - Power of ECM + Agility of the Cloud

Ahmedabad, India (prHWY.com) October 26, 2012 - It is a complex world out there where employees need to collaborate beyond the enterprise to get work done - with consultants, partners, contractors, prospects, customers, or agencies. Moreover, with advanced technology, new tablet, mobile devices and apps need to find ways to get their content on their devices to be productive.

Traditional ECM solutions have never easily supported these extended collaboration needs and some internal systems (like, say, Microsoft SharePoint) have been slow to provide adequate support for mobile devices with lack in scalability. Frustrated users have turned to the consumer cloud to share files, collaborate and keep files in sync between multiple computers and devices.

However, these services were never designed to manage corporate information. They do notprovide the required security or level of control that many companies need. What happens when the employee leaves? Whom have they shared corporate documents with? Where are the documents stored? Moreover, how do you ensure that they are deleted after their useful life? What about compliance and eDiscovery?

Introducing Alfresco One, that blurs the boundaries between the office and the cloud. Alfresco One gives employees the freedom to collaborate both within the office and outside the office via mobile devices and with the extended enterprise, while enabling IT to regain control of all corporate content. This is Cloud Connected Content.

To understand the power of Alfresco One, let us take a financial accountant at a construction company as an example. The accountant needs to get information from internal and external vendors to manage finance and clear dues. In the past, this process may have been managed through multiple emails and the scanning of paper-based files.

Now using Alfresco One, rather than having to rely on email and paper documents the vendors can simply upload the documents, photographs and reports to a secure site in the cloud. These new documents are automatically synced back to the office where the person handling the account can review and process the payment. Once the payment is finished, the folder can be 'un-synced' and the content will be removed from the cloud, but saved in the office. The vendor never gets access to internal corporate files and the accountant has a simpler process allowing them to respond to the customer much quicker.

Could connecting content to the cloud with Alfresco One help your business? Leave your feedback here and let us know what you think.
