Alfresco Compared to IBM Lotus Domino Document Manager Integrated with IBM Lotus Workflow Bachelor Thesis in Information Systems REPORT NO. 2008:040 ISSN 1651-4769 Department of Applied Information Technology Comparing Open Source and Proprietary Enterprise Content Management Systems: Alfresco Compared to IBM Lotus Domino Document Manager Integrated with IBM Lotus WorkFlow DANIEL G.R. ANDERSSON IT University of Göteborg Chalmers University of Technology and University of Göteborg Göteborg, Sweden 2008 Abstract This thesis is a part of the current discussions of open source versus proprietary software for Swedish authorities. A new governmental policy has been estab- lished for which the purpose is to spread the use of open source software and thereby save governmental funds and to increase quality. A case study has been conducted about an enterprise content management solution for the authority the Swedish Armed Forces. Enterprise content man- agement is not a new product category but an integrated approach to handle all types of content. The solution is required in order for the authority to conform to current Swedish laws. Two candidate systems are compared against the re- quirements for the solution, were one is open source and the other is proprietary. The first research question addresses the argument of open source software lacking features. The result implies that open source software provides an equiv- alent set of features. The second, third and fourth research questions address implications for Swedish authorities of choosing an open source or a propriety system. The organizational implications are of democratic interest. Open source increases the organizational transparency by making source code public, which allows automated decisions to be examined. All citizens of Sweden are by law granted access to records that are not classified. Why should this not apply to the source code used by Swedish authorities as well? Another possible organizational implication could originate from an unex- pected multi-national scenario. It could become disastrous if Swedish authorities are dependent on abroad organizations which could not provide critical support. Skills and know-how should be supplied within the country. The economic implications are profound. The Swedish authorities are cur- rently purchasing solutions based on proprietary software from private compa- nies. When the projects are finished, the companies are able to sell the same solutions again to other authorities for the same amount of money. Governmen- tal funds could be much better spent if the authorities choose an open source solution and share the source code and experiences with each other.

In con- trast to proprietary software, open source allows individuals and organizations to view, modify and redistribute the source code. During the commercialization of software through the 1970s and 1980s, software source code became managed as a trade secret. Only the object code was distributed and installed, the source code became hidden from the users. The idea was to gain an economic advan- tage over competitors and customers.[37] Today, is the information technology business switching back to open source. According to Gartner Research vice president Mark Driver, the better part of software will consist of open source code. You can try to avoid open source, but it’s probably easier to get out of the information technology business altogether. By 2011, at least 80 % of commercial software will contain significant amounts of open source code. - Mark Driver at Gartner Open Source Summit 2007 [15] 1.1 Purpose The relative merit of open source versus proprietary software has been widely debated in Sweden. News features are published more or less daily. In the area of enterprise content management, this thesis investigates implications for Swedish authorities when choosing open source or proprietary software. Technical, or- ganizational and economic implications of choosing either will be discussed. A question often raised, is if open source can deliver the same features as pro- prietary software. For this thesis, a case study is carried through, comparing features of an open source enterprise content management system against a proprietary content management prototype. 5 1.2 Research questions Based on the purpose, the following research questions were formulated. • Does an open source content management system provide an equivalent set of features compared to a proprietary (closed source) counterpart? • What are the technical implications for a Swedish authority when choosing an open source or proprietary content management system? • What are the organizational implications for a Swedish authority when choosing an open source or proprietary content management system? • What are the economic implications for a Swedish authority when choosing an open source or proprietary content management system? 1.3 Outline The first chapter “Introduction” is an introduction to the thesis. Purpose, re- search questions and this outline are described to provide the readers with an understanding to their forthcoming reading. The second chapter “Theory” introduces the theoretical framework for this thesis. The area of enterprise content management is a base for the reader to better understand the presented results. The open source description is mainly provided for the discussion chapter. The third chapter “Research Method” describes the methods used in the thesis and a short description of the research process is presented. This is where the delimitation for the thesis is found, since some understanding of enterprise content management is required, found in the previous chapter. The fourth chapter “Systems Evaluated” describes the software products that are compared in this thesis. The fifth chapter “Requirements of the Swedish Armed Forces” presents the case study and the organizations and products that are included. In the sixth chapter “Results” are the two systems features compared based on selected requirements in the pre-study for the Swedish Armed Forces’ case and document management. In addition to this, is also comparison of general system and business concerns also included. The seventh chapter “Discussion” is focused on discussing the research ques- tions and the results, and an interview with the Swedish authority City of Stockholm’s Culture Administration is included. The eighth chapter “Conclusions” summarizes what conclusions that can be made from the thesis. 6 Chapter 2 Theory The theoretical departure for the thesis is theories within

  • Alfresco Enterprise on AWS: Reference Architecture October 2013
    Amazon Web Services – Alfresco Enterprise on AWS: Reference Architecture October 2013 Alfresco Enterprise on AWS: Reference Architecture October 2013 (Please consult http://aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/ for the latest version of this paper) Page 1 of 13 Amazon Web Services – Alfresco Enterprise on AWS: Reference Architecture October 2013 Abstract Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a complete set of services and tools for deploying business-critical enterprise workloads on its highly reliable and secure cloud infrastructure. Alfresco is an enterprise content management system (ECM) useful for document and case management, project collaboration, web content publishing and compliant records management. Few classes of business-critical applications touch more enterprise users than enterprise content management (ECM) and collaboration systems. This whitepaper provides IT infrastructure decision-makers and system administrators with specific technical guidance on how to configure, deploy, and run an Alfresco server cluster on AWS. We outline a reference architecture for an Alfresco deployment (version 4.1) that addresses common scalability, high availability, and security requirements, and we include an implementation guide and an AWS CloudFormation template that you can use to easily and quickly create a working Alfresco cluster in AWS. Introduction Enterprises need to grow and manage their global computing infrastructures rapidly and efficiently while simultaneously optimizing and managing capital costs and expenses. The computing and storage services from AWS meet this need by providing a global computing infrastructure as well as services that simplify managing infrastructure, storage, and databases. With the AWS infrastructure, companies can rapidly provision compute capacity or quickly and flexibly extend existing on-premises infrastructure into the cloud.

OVERVIEW Socialization and collaboration technologies are currently reshaping the established enterprise collaboration market as well as creating whole new categories of offerings, especially around private social platforms. In addition, many other enterprise applications such as CRM and unified communications are heavily transformed through the incorporation of new technologies including group messaging & activity feeds, document collaboration, and analytics. Much of this change is being driven by the consumerization of IT and the incorporation of social technologies. As businesses look to leverage the benefits of improved “connecting” and “network building” that employees have experienced with Facebook and other social solutions, a convergence is occurring between the enterprise social software and collaboration markets.

  • Velo Server Installation Guide
    Velo Server Installation Guide 1) Install Alfresco. Run alfresco 4.2.c installer. Select the “advanced” install so you can tell it to not install postgres. If you select the “easy” install, it will also install postgres db as a service, but that’s ok. Service start is manual, so we don’t need to use it. Uncheck all components except Java (default installation is to use the alfresco bundled java). Remove share.war or rename it to share.war.bak so that tomcat will start up faster. Also remove alfresco.war – it will be replaced with a custom war file later. At the very end of the installer, it’ll ask if you want to start “Alfresco”/”Share” – select NO. Download the alfresco installer from here: https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Community_file_list_4.2.c 2) Install MySQL 5.5. Alfresco 4.2.c is “blessed” with MySQL 5.5. It appears that Alfresco 4.2.c works fine with the older 5.1 version (so this is probably fine for dev machines), but for production servers, it would be best to use the recommended version. Installers can be found in http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.5.html 3) Create Alfresco database and give alfresco database user permissions where $ALFRESCO_DB_PASSWORD below is the value in the db.password property in $ALF_HOME/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties: mysql –u root –p create database alfresco; grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost' identified by '$ALFRESCO_DB_PASSWORD' with grant option; grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by '$ALFRESCO_DB_PASSWORD' with grant option; 4) Backup SOLR.

  • Sharepoint Alternative V2
    Enterprises Need an Open Alternative to SharePoint This white paper explores the key issues with SharePoint - such as vendor lock-in to a complete Microsoft stack, the burden and high cost of CALS, the high TCO due to the inability to reuse existing hardware, software and skills and how scalability is causing companies to seek more cost-effective and open alternatives ALFRESCO WHITE PAPER SERIES An Alternative to SharePoint Executive Summary In September 2008, the analyst firm CMS Watch concluded that, although SharePoint hasbeen incrediblysuccessful for group and departmental collaboration, it has not succeeded in displacing Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions. Instead, ECM solutions still have a place in the enterprise, and now co-exist with SharePoint. While manyECM vendorshave come out with SharePoint integration strategies, few have emerged to trulychallenge SharePoints dominance in the collaboration space. Thiswhite paper will review the core user cases of SharePoint - collaboration and light enterprise content management - while recognizing that some enterprisesmay be interested in it asa business platform that encompassesother components, such asbusiness intelligence, portal capabilities, and other features. The white paper will highlight some of the keyissueswith SharePoint such asvendor lock-in, cost, scalability, and lack of ECM sophistication that are leading enterprisesto explore alternatives and other ECM vendors. It will also identifythe top ten requirementsof a viable alternative to SharePoint and identifyhow Alfresco meets and exceedsthose requirementsin order to help companies: • Escape the lock-in to a complete Microsoft stack; • Escape the burden of Microsoft Client AccessLicenses (CALs); • Lower total cost-of-ownership; • Re-use existing skills; • Increase scalability; and • Increase collaboration through additional Social Computing.
