Open source startup takes on content management market

Anonymous Reader writes “The U.K.-based Alfresco kicked off the Open Source Business Conference by unveiling the first production release of its open source content management software. Company CEO John Powell is hoping that an all-encompassing approach to content management — along with the low cost of open source software — will be enough to help his company gain market share in the face of stiff proprietary competition. Said Powell: “Today I think that virtually any company has a content management problem. You have a content management problem.” Powell also talked about some of the challenges of getting potential customers to consider open source.”
