The best features Alfresco offers are its robustness and compatibility with most of the tools in my organization, which is an added advantage. The cloud and on-premises integration is a great way for both on- and off-site synchronization. Document management promotes a paperless office, collaborative web content, and brings content and processes together, allowing for seamless collaboration. Out of these features, I find myself relying on the ability to access content outside my work zone the most on a day-to-day basis, which becomes very easy with a cloud solution. Collaboratively, I am able to collaborate seamlessly because it brings content and processes together. Additionally, there is document storage with metadata, document versioning, document workflow, check-in, check-out, REST API for integration, easy customization, and vibrant community support. Alfresco has positively impacted my organization as it is open-source with a vibrant community and is very cost-effective compared to other alternatives. It made my office go paperless, thereby saving the environment, and reduced the stress of making several copies of paper. It also transferred the captured documents to the paper department and reduced the employment rate by forty percent across the organization.
