Company Partners with Adobe to Deliver Web-Based Content Services
LONDON--(Business Wire)--
Alfresco Software today announced that Adobe has implemented
Alfresco's document sharing and collaboration capabilities as part of
the file sharing features in Acrobat.com. Adobe chose Alfresco as its
content repository for its clustered high-availability, security, and
highly capable technical support. By working with Alfresco,
Acrobat.com will be able to deliver content services that support
millions of documents and terabytes of data.

   Acrobat.com is a set of free online services - file sharing and
storage, PDF conversion, online word processing, and web conferencing
- that can be used to create and share documents, communicate in real
time, and simplify collaboration within and between organizations and
individuals. Alfresco's open source content management software is
used as the file repository in Acrobat.com, which allows users to
simply share files and documents while maintaining control of those
documents. Millions of users will have free access to Acrobat.com's
file sharing capability directly from Adobe Reader.

   "Alfresco's open source platform provides Acrobat.com with a
robust content management foundation that allows us to deliver
reliable web-based document collaboration services to our customers,"
said Erik Larson, director of marketing and product management for
Acrobat.com. "Critically, Alfresco's feature set accelerated our
ability to bring Acrobat.com to market."

   The Alfresco Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform delivers
people-centric content management and collaboration tools enabling
users to mashup and present internal and external content, and bring
social computing capabilities into the workplace, while retaining
choice over the selection of best of breed tools and ensuring
enterprise-level security and control.

   "We are delighted to extend our partnership with Adobe to be a
part of Acrobat.com," said John Powell, CEO, Alfresco Software. "By
basing Alfresco on standards and open source technology, we are
changing the way companies look at content management, making it more
accessible, affordable and componentized. More importantly, we have
helped commoditize and consumerize content management, making it easy
to embed into hosted and enterprise applications with next-generation
RIA interfaces, such as Acrobat.com or Adobe LiveCycle."
