With the “going green” trend gaining popularity, more businesses are starting to migrate towards a paperless office. Green computing is more than just choosing the right hardware for maximum energy efficiency, it’s also about reducing the amount of paper waste in our daily office operations. Going paperless would not only reduce clutter and increase productivity, but also help conserve natural resources at the same time. Think of all the times you’ve had to look and sort through piles of papers just to find that one small piece of information, all the while making more of a mess to make it even more difficult the next time around. Imagine that multiplied by the number of employees in your organization. That’s a lot of time wasted right?

With the right enterprise content management system, all those paper documents can be managed electronically. Better yet, those items can be tagged with keywords to make finding and sharing that piece of information hassle free. All that time saved can be used more productively. The fact that you’re helping to conserve natural resources is an added bonus. We all want a better environment for our future generations, right?

The next stop on Alfresco’s Road Show is the Big Apple, which will take place on November 14th.

Rivet Logic customer, Harvard Business School Publishing (HBSP), will be discussing the details of a major Alfresco implementation that we have under way.   In addition, our CEO will be presenting ConnectedWeddings.com as another real-world example of an Alfresco implementation, with a focus on social networking and Facebook integration.  And one of our technical architects will demonstrate what we think are some of the coolest features in the forthcoming Alfresco 3.0 release.

Some other interesting content to be covered include Alfresco Share, Alfresco Surf, and why the world needs an alternative to SharePoint.

Last but not least, the road show will conclude with one lucky winner walking away with a brand new Apple iPod Touch!
