14. Customer Spotlight: HR Block
Challenge: H&R Block wanted a flexible, easy- to-use document
management system to capture clients' tax documents and move them
digitally to its tax preparers' offices.
Solution: By choosing Alfresco, H&R Block was able to meet its goal of
choosing to scale both technically and economically. H&R Block paid one-
tenth of a similar commercial product support contract. The company's
initially doing several deployments at headquarters, but it wanted a cost low
enough to leave open the possibility of a major rollout to its extensive
branch offices.

15. Customer Spotlight: The P&V Group
Challenge: To be able to archive the records properly within the groupâs
existing system, a large proportion of the scanned documents had to be
handled manually. The task at hand was two-pronged: the solution needed
to provide an answer to short-term requirements, while at the same time
align with the P&V Groupâs longer-term vision regarding ECM.
Solution: By choosing Alfresco, P&V was able to have a single standard
platform for their EMC and DM systems. Over time, they could integrate and
expand into WCM. The Alfresco solution is meeting its targets with flying
colors. First scan recognition has risen from less than 60% to 97%. Documents
are now loaded automatically into the archive and made available to users
online. Additionally, a range of document flows have also been optimized,
which has generated additional savings. Today, the archives contain in
excess of 14 million documents.

16. Customer Spotlight: Caceis Investor Services
Challenge: The problem needing to be solved consisted of two parts: The
company is legally obliged to keep a record of all our customers'
documents, which, at the start of the project in 2007, represented around
80,000 pages, with increasingly large storage space requirements. The
second challenge was that of transactional orders and validating signatures.
Solution: The Alfresco business model, based on open source software,
enables flexible solutions to be offered with an excellent TCO, compared
with proprietary solutions. Alfresco has provided a permanent solution for
Caceis to accommodate high volumes of data combined with secure
shared access to information.
