With the release of Alfresco Enterprise 3.3, open source Enterprise Content Management vendor Alfresco Software (news, site) has jumped headlong into integration that allows for a much more flexible document infrastructure.

One of the first official demonstrations of the Content Management Interoperability Specification (CMIS) came from Alfresco last December. Their Alfresco:Joomla! Integration Module enabled organizations who use Joomla for web content management to access content stored in Alfresco's content management repository. In fact Alfresco version 3 has built in CMIS capabilities, so it was only a matter of time before another open source vendor would come along and set-up their own integration module. Optaros, in association with Acquia and Alfresco has now also created a set of CMIS integration modules connecting Drupal web content management with Alfresco.

Optaros has announced the launch of a new user interface framework for Alfresco. DoCASU 1.0 is an open source initiative, bringing AJAX and Rich Internet Application features to the Alfresco Enterprise CMS platform UI. Docasu “is not intended to replace the already existing Alfresco web user interface,” but rather is aimed at those who require a simpler and more user-friendly, yet highly configurable interface solution.
