Alfresco 3.0 delivers collaboration, Sharepoint support
Alfresco will ship this week a major upgrade of its enterprise content management system that features new collaboration services, a draft implementation of the CMIS spec and Microsoft SharePoint support.
Alfresco Enterprise 3.0, due for release on October 31, features Share, a collaborative content solution that eases capturing, sharing and accessing information across virtual teams. Share offers a document library, search functionality, activity feeds, the ability to easily create virtual teams, personalized dashboards and support for content creations tools such as Microsoft Office, blogs and wikis.
