April 18, 2019

No Code vs Low Code

One of the trends we are seeing with our Alfresco clients is a desire to move away from custom interface coding to more configuration or no code approaches.  This post will highlight the differences between coding approaches for Alfresco Share and the Alfresco Development Framework (ADF) and configuration approaches with TSG’s OpenContent Management Suite. ...

Alfresco Share – Comparison with OpenContent Management Suite Series

April 25, 2018

Do More with Your Alfresco Deployment – Working with Document Versions in HPI vs. Share

June 14, 2016

For many of our clients, having the ability to quickly and clearly see each version of a document is critical.  Version viewing is especially important for our clients in regulated industries like our Pharmaceutical, Manufacturing and Nuclear Power clients.

Extending Alfresco Security Beyond ACLs

July 2, 2015

Alfresco Records Management – Using Rules to Make Records Filing Easy for Users

December 19, 2014

In a previous blog post we wrote about a common enhancement we often make to ECM systems to automatically file documents based on metadata values. Without development work, performing this same function in a DoD 5015.2 compliant records management system was difficult. However, with the release of version 2.2 of Alfresco’s Records Management module, highlighted at Summit London 2014, the same concept can be extended to automatically file records.  This post will describe how to take the guess ...

Alfresco or Documentum Collaborative Document Reviews with OpenAnnotate

December 18, 2014

Whenever we give a demo of OpenAnnotate, clients always ask, "What happens when multiple users need to review a document at the same time?" OpenAnnotate has always supported having multiple users annotating a document at the same time, but a recent client has added functionality which broadcasts "live" the annotations and comments that users are making.  This makes the review process in OpenAnnotate more collaborative. This post will outline some things to look for when evaluating your options ... [Continue Reading]

Harnessing the Power of Alfresco Data Lists for Cascading Value Assistance
