Alfresco ECM is 96% cheaper than legacy ECM vendors? | ecmarchitect.com - 0 views

  • If you are evaluating ECM solutions, particularly if you are interested in cost, you need to take a look at Alfresco’s TCO Whitepaper. In it, Alfresco uses licensing numbers they snagged from the United States government to compare the first year costs of their solution with EMC/Documentum, OpenText, and Sharepoint.
  • Alfresco does a good job of avoiding Marketing speak for the most part and simply laying out the facts.
  • The paper shows that for document management plus collaboration and integration with SharePoint, you’d have to pay EMC/Documentum $863,937.98 for a 1000 user configuration as opposed to $318,738 for SharePoint and $33,500 for Alfresco for similarly-sized systems with equivalent functionality. Those numbers exclude the supporting infrastructure software.

  • So what’s the fine print? Here are some considerations…
  • The numbers Alfresco used are from a government price list. It isn’t clear to me whether those numbers are “list” or are a negotiated, reduced rate, but from my past experience with Documentum, I’d say they are closer to list.
  • A portion of the “first year’s cost” is maintenance and that recurs every year. For Alfresco you are only paying for maintenance, so the entire $33.5k will be due every year. Using the numbers from the whitepaper your Documentum maintenance bill would be about $115k every year.
  • Alfresco showed a 2-CPU configuration for their 1000-user config priced at $33,500 which included a test server. Then they showed a “high availability” config with a $9,250 up-charge. But they didn’t double the procs. If you’re going to be HA, you’ll need at least two of everything.

    Ferris Research, Feb. 2006, PDF, 14 pages - Overview: Organizations are under increasing pressure to manage information better and to collaborate effectively. Two types of systems that organizations are implementing to meet these demands are Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and team workspaces. This white paper defines ECM and team workspaces and discusses their respective benefits, as well as their differences and similarities. The paper also presents the benefits of an integrated approach to ECM and team workspaces, proposes a set of requirements that a well-integrated ECM and team workspace solution should meet, presents two cases studies using EMC's Documentum Collaboration Edition and briefly describes EMC's Documentum Collaboration Edition, an integrated ECM and team workspace solution.

    Jan. 2007, PDF, 15 pages - Overview: This paper was prepared in response to a requests for information on enterprise document management systems which are now most generally marketed and packaged as a component of an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution. The Enterprise Content Management Association (AIIM) has defined ECM as "The technologies, tools, and methods used to capture, manage, store, preserve, and deliver information, content and documents related to organizational processes. ECM tools and strategies allow the management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information exists." The document management component of ECM generally focuses on managing unstructured content so that it is more easily managed and accessible to enterprise resource users.
