Alfresco Software has released a new version of enterprise content management (ECM) product, which enables cloud-based deployments, streamlines email management and archiving and enhances team-based content collaboration.
In addition, the Alfresco Enterprise 3.2 Records Management module is an open source product is certified to the 5015.02 standard. It supports multi-tenancy, and multiple deployment options from on-premise to full cloud deployment ranging from a simple AMI to a load-balanced Alfresco cluster.
According to Alfresco, the records management module enables commercial organisations and government agencies to address legal requirements associated with managing business records and helps companies to manage document content with retention ranging from lightweight to 5015.2-compliant in a single repository. The transparent IMAP standard protocol support provides access to repository services without a client install and can be accessed from mobile devices.
The company said the new version enables users to employ social media techniques and is equipped with new dashboard features such as image galleries, a new forms engine, and activities filters. In addition, it also enables organisations to manage physical storage location for content based on business polices as part of an information lifecycle management strategy.
The monitoring and configuration tools, combined with the new Alfresco subsystems, allow the administration and reconfiguration of Alfresco without the need to stop and restart the server, the company said.
John Newton, CTO and co-founder of Alfresco Software, said: “Alfresco Enterprise 3.2 brings low cost content management and collaboration tools to both commercial and government organisations, and dramatically reduces the barrier to regulatory compliance.
“Supporting the cloud and IMAP standards allows Alfresco customers to address all of their content management requirements – records management, document management, web content management, collaboration, email archiving or digital asset management – through one value-based solution.”
