Alfresco updates open source enterprise content management platform for Web 2.0

Alfresco Software has launched the latest version of its open source enterprise content management system.

Alfresco Enterprise 2.2 is particularly aimed at supporting Web 2.0 properties and online communities.

New feature enhancements support the creation, deployment and update of scalable Web 2.0 sites that can be developed using any web application language.

"The corporate website is moving from a product brochure to a community around that company's product or service," said John Newton, Alfresco CTO.

"Version 2.2 represents a milestone in this direction. By using open source, our customers can build highly interactive, community-driven sites that are easy to manage, scalable and cost effective," he said.
