Agenda– Content management landscape– Enterprise Software challenges– Alfresco Product Overview– Ingres & Alfresco Joint Roadmap– Q & A


Content Management Landscape

Content is growing – web, docs, images, records

Document retention becoming more standard

Today, CM systems not widely used– High cost– Complex – hard to use and

deploy As usage increases, content

becomes more business critical


Open Source is the ECM Solution

Open Source is now acceptable (Gartner: “95% of G2000 by 2008”)

More references coming each quarter Major ECM vendors (IBM, EMC, Microsoft, Oracle) are busy

consolidating or focusing on top 20% of market

ECM Revenues are Growing

The Enterprise Model is Broken


Enterprise ECM Landscape



ECM Vendor Challenges Supporting many HW platforms Many middleware & O/S versions Results in QA spiral of death




ECM Customer Challenges “How come you don't test this sw?”




ECM Customer Challenges “How come you don't test this sw?” Not upgrading because “I just got it working”




ECM Customer Challenges “How come you don't test this sw?” Not upgrading because “I just got it working”

ISVs spend too much on integration not on functionalityCustomers delay value to operations

The better way: Appliance Based Computing
