29 Customer Quotes Public Sector Alfresco saved AVS millions and provided a flexible licensing model while meeting and exceeding our technical, functional, ease-of-use, and support requirements. We are excited to be a part of open source ECM and confident in Alfresco s commitment to customer satisfaction and ECM innovation. Jennifer Frye, AVS Technical Project Manager We could clearly see the benefits of Alfresco over our existing system. We now have the ability to manage our process and workflows in ways we could only do after placing a call to our developers. This represents a major opportunity to change and enhance the way we work. Geoff Pettifor, Director of Development Alfresco was the only ECM suite that met our requirements Open Source and Open Standards were critical to our decision. Alfresco was not only open source but supported key Government directions such as PDF, ODF and JSR-170. Daren Gillespie, Network Administrator 29
