'''Alfresco''' is an enterprise content management system for Microsoft Windows and Unix-like operating systems. Alfresco comes in two distributions: Alfresco Community Edition as free open-source software licensed under a GLPL v2 license and Alfresco Enterprise Edition as commercially and proprietary licensed open-source software. Its design is geared towards users who require a high degree of modularity and scalable performance. Alfresco includes a content repository, an out-of-the-box web portal framework for managing and using standard portal content, a CIFS interface that provides file system compatibility on Microsoft Windows and Unix-like operating systems, a web content management system capable of virtualizing web applications and static sites via Apache Tomcat, Lucene indexing, and Activiti workflow.

==Product history==

John Newton (co-founder of Documentum) and John Powell (a former COO of Business Objects) founded Alfresco Software, Inc. in 2005. Its investors include the investment firms SAP Ventures, Accel Partners, and the Mayfield Fund. The original technical staff consisted of principal engineers from Documentum and from Oracle.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.alfresco.com/about/ |title=About Alfresco |accessdate=31 March 2012}}</ref>

While Alfresco's product initially focused on document management, in May 2006 the company announced its intention to expand into web content management by acquiring senior technical and managerial staff from Interwoven. This included its VP of Web Content Management, two principal engineers, and a member of its user-interface team. <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.alfresco.com/media/releases/2006/05/wcm-team-joins-alfresco/ |title=Top Web Content Management Team Joins Alfresco Software |publisher=Alfresco Software, Inc |date=22 May 2006 |accessdate=31 March 2012}}</ref> In 2010, Alfresco sponsored a new open-source business process management engine called Activiti.

In July 2011, Alfresco and Ephesoft announced a technology partnership to offer their users document capture and content management interoperability services brought together for intelligent PDF capture and search and workflow development.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cmswire.com/cms/document-management/alfresco-ephesoft-partnership-offers-cmisbased-open-source-capturetoworkflow-technology-011922.php |title=Alfresco, Ephesoft Partnership Offers CMIS-based Open Source Capture-to-Workflow Technology |author=Roe, David |publisher=CMSWire |date=8 July 2011 |accessdate=31 March 2012}}</ref>

In 2012 January, Alfresco 4.0.0 was released with significant improvements over the user interface. The new version strove to move further features from Alfresco Explorer to Alfresco Share, as Alfresco Explorer is intended to be deprecated over time.
