Collaborating Alfresco Without SharePoint
Over the last several years, a number of businesses have availed themselves of the collaborative services of the SharePoint content management portal from Microsoft. The MS SharePoint family of products is fairly pricey, and some companies have looked around for a less expensive alternative. Alfresco is one such Open Source alternative that has been gaining ground as a SharePoint replacement.

  • Document Management

  • Transparent overlays (similar to unionfs)
  • Records Management
  • Image Management
  • Auto-generated XForms with AJAX support
  • Integrated Publishing
  • Repository access via CIFS/SMB, FTP and WebDAV
  • jBPM workflow

  • Federated servers
  • Multi-language support
  • Portable application packaging
  • Multi-platform support (officially Windows and Linux)
  • Browser-based GUI (official support for Internet Explorer and Firefox)
  • Desktop integration with Microsoft Office
  • Clustering support
Alfreso is available for Windows and *nix platforms.

What an unbelievable non-informative article. I'm searchin for info on Alfresco and how it stands in business and this article tells me even less than Wikipedia. Quite impressive.
