TSG recently responded to a client’s questions regarding using Alfresco versus Documentum or other solutions for Life Sciences. The questions were the next step after a demonstration of Alfresco and TSG solutions for controlled documents. The demonstrations are available in the learning zone.
This post will share those questions and responses while preserving the client’s confidentially.
Today, Alfresco published an interview with TSG on the work we’ve done with the Alfresco Connector for Salesforce. Given our expertise with both the Alfresco and Salesforce.com platforms, developing the integration has been a great intersection of both TSG practices.
The Salesforce.com Dreamforce convention is winding so we thought we would share our thoughts on what we observed and heard over the past week.
As always, the convention offered a lot of fanfare and excitement mixed with tons of useful knowledge from the over 800 sessions. For the most part we are convinced that the Social Enterprise is gaining a significant amount of traction, and more and more companies are looking for ways to move their legacy systems from on-premise to the cloud. Salesforce.com continues to invest significantly in developing their Platform and being the industry leader with Cloud systems.
As part of our recent TSG Hack Day, a couple employees set out to prove out how Salesforce could leverage a separate content management system to act as a file store for Salesforce content that had already been through an approval workflow (and therefore was essentially read only to the users). Since Alfresco is an open source CMS, and TSG has had success deploying it in the cloud, it was a natural choice to complement Salesforce.
