Open source ECM vendor Alfresco has launched a new content collaboration product, Alfresco Team, including iOS apps for the iPad and iPhone.

The company says it isn’t a consumer-oriented file sharing tool, instead offering a full collaboration platform with enterprise-grade features like workflows.

Team members can preview documents, leave comments, or favorite it for easy access later. Finished content is then tagged and categorized so it is easily retrievable.

“We designed and built Alfresco Team based on what we have learned from five years as the leading open source content management company,” said John Powell, president and CEO of Alfresco.

“Alfresco Team brings the power of the Alfresco platform to departments and teams across that globe that are focused on creating great content. If your business is content or document creation, then Alfresco Team was built for you.”

Complementing the core Alfresco Team product are new iPhone and iPad apps (available in the Apple App Store in early July) that provide mobile access to Alfresco Team sites and content capture.

A Free Forever 5-User, 500-Document Trial of Alfresco Team is available at http://team.alfresco.com. Subscription pricing starts at 10 users for under $US2000 per year.
