Why Alfresco?
Alfresco will help make it easier for you to review documents, share information and collaborate with working groups and committees. You can use Alfresco to:
- collaborate with your colleagues and volunteers on shared projects;
- share all types of files including word documents and presentations;
- facilitate document feedback, with version control, without relying on email;
- create a dashboard of all the projects you are working on and more!
Alfresco is part of the Royal College's Business Transformation initiative - known to many of us as BT. This is a tool that will help us achieve the goals under the BT initiative: improve collaboration, become more effective in how we do our work, and deliver new value to our members, stakeholders, volunteers and each other.
