Alfresco recently released a white paper outlining the Total Cost of Ownership of ECM, based on publicly available pricing from a range of vendors. The white paper aims to demystify some
of the complexity around current proprietary ECM pricing and demonstrate how choosing and implementing an open source ECM solution can be a transparent and cost-effective process. The TCO
white paper is available online at http://www.alfresco.com/products/whitepapers/.
