Hello,

Thanks for your fast answer.

1/ Could you tell me more about the speed of Alfresco ? Will it be ok for my customer to download large files ?

Hello,

If you mainly want to use Alfresco for document management I would say you better have a look at the Webdav feature.
And BTW , people will only see documents from folders (spaces) they are invited to. We have good experience from speed.

Hello,

It is possible for my customer to directly access to their documents after they login.

In sort:

1/ They Login
2/ They see all their documents and can download them easily. They are not bothered by any other functions or link.

Is it possible ?

Thanks

There are a number of options:

- You can have your customers directly access the WebDAV interface; they will be presented with an HTTP Basic authentication dialog by the browser.
- You can use one of the out-of-the-box portlets, e.g. http://{server}:8080/alfresco/wcs/ui/doclist
- You can develop your own simpler webscript-based UI

Thanks,
Mike

Hello,

I am looking for someone who can help me to setup the open source version and perform some customization job.

Once this job done i would like to get help for the maintenance.

Anyone would be interested in doing that ?
