Today, I will be talking about a fundamental shift that is happening in our industry - the ECM industry. And, the enterprise software industry as a whole. I will also give you a quick overview and refresher on Alfresco, how we are growing, etc.
Over the past decade, there has been a fundamental change in the axis of IT innovation. In prior decades, new systems were introduced at the very high end of the economic spectrum, typically within large public agencies and Fortune 500 companies. Over time these systems trickled down to smaller businesses, and then to home office applications, and finally to consumers, students and even children. In this past decade, however, that flow has been reversed. Now it is consumers, students and children who are leading the way, with early adopting adults and nimble small to medium size businesses following, and it is the larger institutions who are, frankly, the laggards.
The challenges here are enormous. Expectations of Enterprise IT are rising. The business, still reeling from the crash of 2008, is questioning the rigidity and cost of legacy systems. The focus of IT is changing from a traditional focus on standardizing and automating back-end manual processes – a focus on CONTROL – to a focus on empowering and connecting knowledge workers and improving knowledge worker productivity and innovation.

So – to sum things up – you will see Alfresco’s public positioning really evolve in 2011 – and I hope that, as you think about integration social systems into your enterprise – or integrating social features into your next applications – that Alfresco will be at the top of your list to consider for an underlying Content Management platform. Coming up – you will see a presentation on our roadmap – including a lot of new enterprise features that are coming out with Enterprise 3.4 – a demo of Share by {PARTNER NAME}, and a case-study about a solution that {PARTNER} has built on top of Alfresco’s open platform.
