5. The Alfresco 4 Business Case
Forrester Study, December 2011: Alfresco Enterprise pays for itself in 10
months. But Alfresco Enterprise 4 goes even further, with…
• Increased User Adoption = Increased Enterprise Value
– The more employees that use ECM, the more ROI
• Decreased Need for Other Tools = Fewer Vendors, Lower Costs
– Built-in social publishing, free mobile apps save you money
• Performance, Scalability & Admin Improvements = Lower Operating
Costs
– Less downtime, more users and content per instance, easier administration
saves time & money
• B2B Collaboration Outside the Firewall = Higher Productivity
– With Alfresco in the cloud sync (due Summer 2012), employees can more easily
collaborate with outside partners and suppliers, meaning higher overall
productivity
