In addition to providing content management products and services to customers
across a number of industries, including finance, health care, transportation,
technology and education, Armedia has established a unique focus and expertise
in the government sector and maintains a strong foothold in the southeast region
of the U.S. The company first partnered with Alfresco in 2007 and has strongly
supported its efforts in driving open source ECM adoption. 

"Our partnership with Alfresco has been critical to the growth of our business
for the past several years, as the company provides the industry`s best
enterprise-scale open source ECM solution that is increasingly in demand and
ideal for a range of customers, from smaller start-ups to global conglomerates,"
said Jim Nasr, CEO, Armedia. "We are very pleased our seminar will be
highlighted by a presentation from Alfresco CTO John Newton, a true innovator
and pioneer in both the ECM and open source industries who can provide attendees
with not only a `state of the industry,` but a glimpse into what lies ahead." 

The Open Source ECM Seminar will include technology demonstrations and case
studies detailing how Alfresco is different from Documentum and SharePoint and
reveal the latest in document management, web content management and web 2.0
style collaboration. In addition, Newton`s address will focus on Content
Management Interoperability Services (CMIS), the proposed standard for content
management, which is set to become as critical as SQL. 

"Armedia has established itself as a key driver of technology and services in
the ECM space, and its commitment to Alfresco has helped us continue to expand
our integrations and deliver on the promise of open source in a number of new
industries," said Newton. "This seminar is just another example of Armedia`s
dedication to its customers and to the open source community, and we look
forward to working with them to educate customers about how open source and CMIS
will become the foundation for building a new generation of content
collaboration and social computing applications."
