Whois & Analysis for alfresco.com

Enterprise content management (ECM) is a formalized means of organizing and storing an organization's documents, and other content, that relate to the organization's processes.

The term encompasses strategies, methods, and tools used throughout the lifecycle of the content.

Alfresco is a free/libre enterprise content management system for Microsoft Windows and Unix-like operating systems.

Alfresco comes in three flavors:

Business process management (BPM) is a field in operations management that focuses on improving corporate performance by managing and optimizing a company's business processes.

It can therefore be described as a "process optimization process".

It is argued that BPM enables organizations to be more efficient, more effective and more capable of change than a functionally focused, traditional hierarchical management approach.

These processes can impact the cost and revenue generation of an organization.

Content management (CM), is a set of processes and technologies that supports the collection, managing, and publishing of information in any form or medium.

When stored and accessed via computers, this information may be more specifically referred to as digital content, or simply as content.

Digital content may take the form of text (such as electronic documents), multimedia files (such as audio or video files), or any other file type that follows a content lifecycle requiring management.

The process is complex enough to manage that several large and small commercial software vendors such as Interwoven and Microsoft offer content management software to control and automate significant aspects of the content lifecycle.

A system is a set of interacting or interdependent component parts forming a complex or intricate whole.

Every system is delineated by its spatial and temporal boundaries, surrounded and influenced by its environment, described by its structure and purpose and expressed in its functioning.
