LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alfresco Software, a leading provider of modern enterprise content management (ECM) and business process management (BPM) software, announces a series of new services deployed on Amazon Web Services (AWS) along with major enhancements to existing offerings. With its long-standing commitment to open-source, Alfresco is best positioned for delivering solutions that meet the needs of the digital enterprise.
Alfresco is developing specific tools for its core customers on AWS, including digital asset management and transcoding capabilities, increased government cloud usage through support of the AWS GovCloud (US) Region and the introduction of Alfresco Activiti in the Cloud, empowering organizations to easily build process-oriented business applications in the cloud.
“We’re extremely excited about the Digital Asset Management features in Alfresco One 5.0,” said Andrew Ho, senior director of information technology at Teach For All. “As a global organization that heavily utilizes video to better illustrate our work and mission in over 30 countries across 6 continents, we have a huge need for robust, enterprise-wide media management capabilities to help keep our rich media library in order. Plus, as a non-profit organization with limited facilities, we depend upon cloud services, such as Amazon Web Services, to securely and reliably deliver these features to our constituents around the world.”
Alfresco One Enterprise 5.0 is deployable on AWS for scalable and secure cloud-hosted ECM environment, and continues to build on Alfresco’s tradition of rich AWS support with new features and add-on modules:
- AWS GovCloud (US) Support: Recognizing the importance of security and compliance to government customers, Alfresco has simplified how Alfresco One is configured to use AWS GovCloud (US) services.
- Encryption of Data-at-Rest: Enhances Alfresco’s existing support for Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) with client-side encryption and customer-managed encryption keys. At-rest data encryption is available now as an add-on module.
- Digital Asset Management: Customers working with multimedia assets will benefit from Alfresco’s forthcoming DAM module supporting Amazon Elastic Transcoder for video transcoding and the Amazon CloudFront content delivery network.
