Product Description
How to Install, use, and customize this powerful, free, Open Source Java-based Enterprise CMS

In Detail

Alfresco offers true Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and aspires to be "Documentum fast and free", and was founded by a former Documentum executive. Alfresco can store a wide range of digital content in flexible, smart "spaces". Content is accessible through a web interface, shared network folders, FTP, WebDav, and other methods.

Users can set up Alfresco to process content in certain ways, according to business rules and workflow requirements. It can also apply version control to documents automatically, making it easy and safe to collaborate and update documents.

Alfresco is regarded as the most powerful open-source enterprise content management system. Using Alfresco, administrators can easily create rich, shared content repositories. This book shows you how to unleash this power to create collaborative working systems in your enterprise.

What you will learn from this book? This book will take you through the complete cycle of planning, implementing and customizing your ECM installation. Among the many topics covered are:

Working with users and membership accounts, including LDAP integration
Using Alfresco as a Smart document repository; working with automatic version tracking and control, and accessing the repository from the Web, shared network folders, or FTP
Making content easy to find using search, content categorization, and metadata
Automating document management tasks with business rules and complete workflows
Working together using Alfresco's collaboration and syndication features to create effective working groups
Customizing the user interface, creating your own dashboard layouts; presenting content in custom ways relevant to your business

Approach

Munwar Shariff is an experienced software trainer for CIGNEX Inc. He has trained many users, administrators, and developers in Alfresco and many other systems. This book distils the hands-on approach of his training courses into a concise, practical book. The emphasis is on getting up and running fast and discovering the scope and power of Alfresco incrementally through practical discovery.

Who this book is written for?

This book is designed for system administrators, experienced users or developers who want to install and use Alfresco in their teams or businesses. Because Alfresco is free many teams can install and experiment with its ECM features without any upfront cost, often without management approval. The book assumes a degree of technical confidence but does not require specialist sysadmin or developer skills to get a basic system up and running.

Alfresco is particularly suitable for IT consultants who want or need to set up a flexible enterprise content management system for their clients, be that for demonstration, development, or as a mission-critical platform. This book gets you to that result quickly and effectively.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Alfresco Evaluation Guide, February 25, 2007

By	Seth Gottlieb "Seth Gottlieb" (Florence, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The target audience of the book appears to be a technical person who is evaluating and getting started with Alfresco. The core strength of this book is as an aid to explore the functionality of the Alfresco web client and to learn how to configure and extend it. As with most Java applications, most of Alfresco's behavior is managed through a series of XML files. The examples of how to manipulate these files in the book and as part of an accompanying download are very good. And when you go through these exercises and open up the files you can't help but notice other settings that might be useful to modify as well. I think it would be helpful to discuss the underlying technologies that support the Alfresco platform and also tips for tuning the software to meet the performance and availability demands of an actively used implementation. But those topics might be more appropriate for an advanced book. For an Alfresco beginner (and there are a lot of people who fit that description out there), this book is a great introduction.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good deal, March 22, 2007

By	M. H. Jaeger "Helena Jaeger" (Florianopolis, SC, Brazil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As an early adopter of a new open software product as Alfresco, it's very important to have the kind of structured and organized information this book gives us, that we couldn't find consolidated at Alfresco sites. The book also brings us some scenarios and good practices that are very useful and applicable to real situations.

I just hope that upgrades and new versions of the book continue to be published, and even more specialized books on this subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars Concise assembly of information with examples, March 8, 2007

By	Raymond Belisle (Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book, being the first one written on Alfresco has no competition and really competes only with the public information that is available on the web. The information in this book is all available in different sources (wikis, forums, official documentation and the source code), but this book does a great job of bringing it all together in one reference that is easy to digest.

In addition to the information, it does a great job of providing examples and a walkthrough of the steps to be taken to see the examples work in any Alfresco environment, another plus.

One of the few things I was disappointed in was the section on implementing workflows. This chapter does a good job of describing the differences between the two workflow models that are available in Alfresco, but lacks alot in the approach to explaining the differences between the two. Unlike other sections of the book, there is a real lack of examples that provide a little more 'meat' on the workflow capabilities. That said, you probably need a whole book on workflow and advanced workflow capabilities of Alfresco to really do it justice anyway.

If you are just starting out with Alfresco, this is a great foundation-type book. With software changing regularly, this book was written with version 1.4 and version 2.0 is now out and this book does not cover Records Management/Web Content Management or any of the other new features, so if you are a seasoned user/developer and want to know more about the new features, you'll probably have to wait until the next book...
