Kodak and Alfresco have announced a global strategic alliance to provide
customers with superior levels of content and document management
services. Customers will benefit from Kodak’s ability to rapidly develop
and integrate solutions such as online government records access in a
fraction of the time that was previously required.
“This is the beginning of a strategic relationship that will
differentiate both Kodak and Alfresco in the marketplace,” said Roberto
Colangelo, Kodak’s General Manager for Worldwide Services. “By combining
Alfresco’s industry leading enterprise content management systems with
our own technology and capabilities, we will address the growing need
for complex content and document solutions, serving customers in ways
they never thought possible. We expect to have an immediate and
long-lasting impact in the markets we serve.”
Kodak has delivered high-value managed services and solutions to large
enterprises and governments around the world for many years. Much of
this work is focused primarily on providing better usability and
accessibility to data through scanning, storing, and retrieving critical
documents and information. Kodak helps governments capture and share
hundreds of millions of documents. Together, Kodak and Alfresco will
provide a more robust set of services and solutions than previously
offered.
“Kodak is aggressively moving beyond scanning to participate in more
sophisticated content and document management services,” said Colangelo.
“For example, we’re creating modern databases and repositories so
citizens can access information such as land records online quickly and
efficiently. This is just one of the many ways Kodak is helping
government entities provide higher levels of citizen services.”
With Alfresco, Kodak will be able to continue delivering these types of
services, only in faster, more collaborative ways.
“The combination of Kodak’s brand paired with our trusted platform makes
this an extremely valuable alliance for us,” said John Powell, CEO,
Alfresco. “We are very excited to partner with Kodak to extend our
services and software offerings on a global scale. We look forward to
future collaboration in the cloud, mobile, and on-premise all working
seamlessly together to meet Kodak’s growing content management needs.”
