Maintaining document integrity with persistent linking and customizable workflows
Currently, documents in Alfresco are stored on a file server, which, while good for performance, is a security risk. Clients, especially large enterprises such as banks, are concerned about document security if someone breaches the server. It would be beneficial if Alfresco offers different options for document storage, such as databases or cloud solutions. Also, it would be helpful if Alfresco's viewer could be easily embedded in other systems, as its integration is currently complex.

Integration of diverse AI functions and adaptable features provides efficient operational solutions
From a client's perspective, I encounter several challenges when implementing new systems, and in my last role, they faced significant issues with their previous software. After assessing their situation, it was clear that continuing on their current path would lead to excessive costs. Recognizing that Sharepoint 2016 Standard could fulfill their needs efficiently, I engaged my team, and after seven months, we had a fully operational system in place. As a project manager, I design what I need from AI within Sharepoint 2016 Standard, knowing I always get good results. While the technical details may not be my forte, I have a network of strong experts working alongside me, making sure our processes succeed according to the plans I put in place.
