Enterprise Content Management Systems (CMS) News & Articles

Yesterday was the last day of LegalTech New York 2012, and though vendors and legal professionals alike have left, many of the product launches, announcements, case studies and panel discussions will stay with them for some time.

We said earlier in the week that we couldn’t talk about Alfresco 4 until today.

With it, Alfresco pushes its open content management platform firmly into the mobile and social space.

In the document management space this week, Alfresco announced that later in the week it will be releasing Enterprise 4, Microsoft announced the public beta of Office 15 for the summer, Colligo got legal at LegalTech, Rioch bought HSSK and M-Files can now be used on mobile devices.
