<div>Alfresco works great for storing and managing a high volume of documents, of any kind of file format. You can even preview commonly used file formats (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, etc) and develop custom content transformers, to auto-convert files that are uploaded into the ECM.</div><div>

Alfresco Activiti is used as a BPMN modeling tool. Around 1000+ business process models are created using the same tool and [are] deployed. For the different types of requests, the respective workflows are invoked and manual tasks are created for various roles.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have implemented Alfresco Content Services to solve complex enterprise problems for content service, record management, and process management. Using Alfresco Content Services, I implemented a central repository for document management and document approval processes between different departments. I have also integrated Alfresco Content Services with different applications like Portal (Liferay), SAP, DocuSign, LDAP, SSO, etc.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Alfresco ECM is often deployed at customer sites to enrich Elixir's own enterprise solutions, develop products for specific use cases, and orchestrate content and content processes that originate with Tango+ (Elixir's CCM platform). The ECM can support a single use case and/or scale to connect across functions and departments, depending on the business requirements and their evolution over time.

Likelihood to Recommend

Large, scalable use cases for content repositories and orchestration are well-suited. However, smaller use cases could be supported by Sharepoint or other common content services applications, as well.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Alfresco Enterprise Content Management is being used by the digital teams of our organization. The software is specific to doing certain marketing functions for client-facing platforms, hence it is not used outside of specific departments. It is also used for content management across our site that can be changed and managed in real time.

Likelihood to Recommend

Alfresco's tool is excellent. It is a rich collaboration tool, with simplified web designing for people who are less tech savvy. It has real ease in the editing and managing of image files. There is freedom in software modification and customization to fulfill customers' needs. It has dynamic development, ease of accessing current updates, and rich functionality. It has out of box scalability. It is also compatible with Windows as well as Unix, and has excellent integration with both the Office Suite and Open Office.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We implemented Alfresco ECM to replace Documentum system which is used in different departments across the organization.

The users vary from Sales, HR, Legal, Records management, IT etc, to store employee records, legal documents, project specific documents.

Main business problems Alfresco addressed were:

- We had to replace Documentum system which has 70 TB of content and more than 1000 active users in a shorter time. Alfresco licensing is affordable and we implemented ECM with Alfresco.

- Integrations with the third party are easy and flexible, ex: SFDC, Reporting tools, external publishing systems.

- The workflow is so flexible and can develop small to big complicated business processes. The business users can have a single user interface to finish the workflow having interacted with other third-party tools.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well Suited:

- Companies which look for content management solutions with simple to complex workflow requirements.

- Companies which don't look for complex functionalities in content creation like DITA, web authoring, co-authoring etc.

- Fast deployment, easy adoption, and scalable teams can look into this.

Less Appropriate:

- Dynamic content publishing, co-authoring, and collaboration.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The main intent of Alfresco is to implement a unified ECM system and promote the idea of a paperless office. Alfresco was recommended to most of my company clients due to its robustness and its compatibility with Ephesoft scanning management. Also, the cloud and on-premises integration is a great way for both on and off site sync.

Moreover, it's cheaper than Microsoft SharePoint.

Likelihood to Recommend

Alfresco is more suited for almost all working environment that deals with paper, companies which are trendy, vibrant media, techie, courier logistics companies and insurance companies as well. Irrespective of the environment, it less appropriate to introduce the usage to people above 40 who are less interested in any form of new technology development.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Quality Matters uses Alfresco Enterprise Content Management throughout the organization for internal and external content management. Version control and collaboration across teams were two needs for adopting Alfresco. Content is shared across multiple platforms and audiences. Alfresco allowed us to integrate with our public website (Drupal) as well as our learning management system (Moodle), using one document repository, ensuring content is current across all channels.

Likelihood to Recommend

Alfresco Enterprise Content Management is well suited for any sized organization with content management needs.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Alfresco is being used across the whole organization for document management/retention, blogging, audit trails and approval workflows. We have integrated Alfresco with our home grown database. As soon as a deal is entered into it, a site creates with standard folders and rules that make metadata assignment easier or completely automated. All parties working on the deal are able to easily access and save documents to the right place. Workflows are used for obtaining and tracking deal approvals based on credit submissions. Blogs are used to make the sharing of information interactive and are part of our knowledge management strategy.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have regulatory or business needs that require saving email into Alfresco and you are using Outlook for Mac, you may need to perform significant customization to make it work. Additionally, if you will have users that will be members to a large numbers of sites over time, you need to thoroughly explore what functionality will be degraded or lost and how to mitigate the impact. Other than these two scenarios, I cannot think of any scenarios where Alfresco would not be well suited to an organization's needs.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Alfresco is being used across whole organization, it solves content management and document integrity.
