Case study: Using Alfresco Web Content Management in your Java web project

Abstract

We created a website showing dynamic content based on web services exposed by Siebel and content generated in the Alfresco web content management system to create an integrated front-end for offering .

As the website is a direct link to the customer, OAK3 needed to have full control over the content on the website. The requirement included that non-technical people should easily be able to change the texts, images, add news on the website etc...

The material, scheduling and booking of the courses is centralized in the company CRM system (Siebel), so an integration with this is system was also an immediate requirement.

To be able to reuse the current hosting contract, the system needed to be independent of the underlying CMS system when the website is live.
