Alfresco is an enterprise content management platform for storing, organising and controlling business documents. Its architecture centres on a content repository that manages files together with their metadata, relationships, permissions and history.
The software is designed for organisations that require more than a conventional shared drive. Documents can be classified, searched and managed through repository services, while integration interfaces allow other applications to interact with stored content.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Central content repository for electronic documents and related metadata.
- Hierarchical folders and configurable content types for classifying information.
