ECM providers drive open source

Open source enterprise content management (ECM) provider, Alfresco Software, has partnered with Caringo, a content storage software provider, says PRWeb.

The two companies have jointly developed a solution for managing and storing content for billions of files and petabytes of data.

Developed by XeniT, a partner of both companies, the Alfresco2CAStor connector is now available on Alfresco Forge, and Caringo is offering a free download of its CAStor content storage software for up to 4TB capacity.

OutStart has unveiled its next-generation learning content management system (LCMS), called OutStart LCMS 2009, which took two years to develop, according to Chief Learning Officer magazine.

Massood Zarrabian, CEO and president of OutStart, says: “The demand for LCMS technologies has grown even in a tough economy. Organisations realise that LCMSs enable managers to react quickly to today's changing business environment.”

OutStart LCMS serves as the single-source hub for building learning modules. These modules can be used for online and mobile learning to instructor and student guides, assessments and surveys.
