…While remaining easy to use
Alfresco offers an exclusive method of managing documentary spaces by "sites", which allows effective delegation and administration by the users themselves - without particular technical skills - while limiting the risk of errors regarding rights or confidentiality .
The use of preconfigured models (document templates, tree structures, sites) saves time and standardizes uses within the different departments.
A complete and integrated suite
Two important building blocks now complete the ECM base:
- Alfresco Process Services is a BPM (business process management) suite that allows you to create and design business processes (workflow). Everything is done in graphical mode (to the BPMN 2.0 standard) and the modeled processes can then be injected into the ECM base if they have a documentary purpose, or be executed in the form of mini-applications directly in the BPM portal. All monitoring, administration and settings elements are provided. The application can be used independently or acquired with the ECM brick.
- Alfresco Governance Services is an add-on module for formal document management (record management) and archiving in compliance with regulatory standards. Combined with appropriate storage solutions, this module meets the need for recording and preserving documents with probative value necessary in certain activities.
