Alfresco, who often appear to have a semi-detached take on the Digital Asset Management market yesterday released ‘Alfresco Team’ which is touted by them as a “Content Collaboration Platform” – or a DAM system to use an alternative term more familiar to readers of sites like this one.

The features include:
- Eight different method of uploading assets (including mounted drives, email integration and SharePoint)
- Online file previews of Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, PDF, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Flash, image, video and audio files
- Version control and embedded metadata extraction

The pricing is competitive and users can get started with a free edition that can handle five users.
