During the Enterprise 2.0 conference this June in Boston, I sat down with John Newton, the CTO and Chairman of Alfresco, for a brief (7:11) discussion about the intersections between ECM and Enterprise 2.0 and the value of community-driven innovation in open source.

Newton lays out a very clear picture of how Alfresco has a role to play in the overall shift in the direction of Enterprise 2.0 knowledge worker applications through the notion of content services and social services:

We see an evolution in the Enterprise Content Management market, moving beyond just this back office type of system . . . and making it much more integral into the Enterprise.

Certainly our experience at Optaros has been that Alfresco provides a solid platform and flexible set of services which can be used to assemble a solid Enterprise 2.0 application.
