A Busy Year for Alfresco

These days the team over that Alfresco has been very busy. They have managed to weave their ECM into a number of other products. Products like Quark, Acrobat.com, CAStor and Adobe LiveCycle are just a few to mention who have incorporated the ECM into their product in some way.

In addition, Alfresco spent the summer releasing Alfresco Labs 3 which included a version of their new collaboration solution, Alfresco Share and Surf - a new development platform. From there they spent time performing extensive testing to prepare for the release of their latest enterprise version.
