BCi completes Alfresco integration

Over 2 years ago BCi embarked on finding what they considered to be the best open source back office solution for its own use and as a possible integration for its clients. Having developed a set of functional and performance criteria we went out to find the best fit to our requirements. A number of contenders were assessed but it was clear that the Alfresco solution was the best match to our criteria.

As well as being a feature rich solution and generally stable it is well supported by the alfresco community. We we’re particularly interested in it’s potential to address some of our clients requirements and perhaps form part of a wider solution as a pre-integrated component.

BCi’s own integration of Alfresco as it’s back office and content management system has allowed us to improve internal processes, document management and even quality it now forms a core element of our ISO9001:2008 Quality standard.
