stored directly on the file system while the metadata of it is stored in the
relational database.

The relationships held between the various content items and their
properties as mentioned in metadataare defined in one or more content
models.
Repository Management
It assists in storing the files in
appropriate folders which
become easily accessible.
Repository Management
It maintains a track of so as to who is
the author, time of creation, whomodified it, when was it last modified,
the main keyword of that particular document and a lot more.
It inhibits a solid content auditing system and keeps a record so as to
who and when is making even a single edit in a specific document.
Content Auditing
Content Auditing
It keeps a track of all the information relating to that particular document:
such as the writers who are writing on that document along with the other
appropriate permissions given to others.
Content Auditing

exclusive features which make it stand out of the rest of the document
management systems.

Alfresco not only shows who all are working on the present document but also
keeps a track so as to who and when changes were made in that document. Hence, Alfresco provides an absolute
solution to real-time collaboration.
Versioning
While dealing with documents
versioning is an imperative concept and Alfresco caters to it.
Versioning
When a particular document flows through n number of edit cycles it is of
sheer importance that there is an option
to maintain a copy of the earlier versions of the document.
Versioning
When edits are made in a document, then according to the need of the reviewer and writers, a few prior
versions of the documents(upto a certain fixed number)
can be saved for future assistance in Alfresco.
Versioning
This helps in easy comparison of data
and ensures credibility of information.
Search Management
The large organizations have TBs of data to handle and it is impossible for to
access a document after a long time based on a phrase or content. Many a
time they need to search a document relating to a particular topic or phrase.
Search Management
Alfresco helps in customizing the
search. It can be configured in such a way that the metadata and the other
related information are tagged to a specific piece of document.

becomes feasible and it is capable to locate the particular document
depending on a topic or certain phrase.
Alfresco is capable of
handling a large amount
of documents without
requiring a huge server
capacity and is able to
connect to the cloud
solution and share
documents without

companies deciding to
consider an option
outside the legacy
document management
system.
