Alfresco Software Case Study: Reed Managed Services

Reed Managed Network Services (RMNS), part of Reed Managed Services, provides IT services to the six Reed companies. The top priority project for RMNS in 2005 was to provide a single desktop for all branch consultants. The company wanted to replace current business excellence manual and incorporate role-specific training and computer based training, produce best practice in documented form and distributed access for all Reed Employment including Hospitality, Industrial Divisions and, in the next phase, other Reed companies. Reed wanted an open source solution, which offered performance and scalability, but that could easily be integrated with the existing infrastructure. This was made much easier by Alfresco's stated aim of making anything they do transparent and open.
