Formtek, Inc. announced today that its full portfolio of software products for the Alfresco Open Content Platform have been certified for use with Alfresco 4.

Formtek is a provider of document and content management solutions based on Alfresco. Software products developed by Formtek increase the capabilities and productivity of Alfresco implementations by extending the functionality or adding new features to the standard Alfresco product.

  • The Formtek EDM Data Extractor - Extracts any attributes present in DWG or DXF files, including title block attributes, and maps them to the EDM content model properties
  • The Formtek EDM Connector for AutoCAD - A plug-in for AutoCAD that allows users to interact with the Alfresco content repository directly from AutoCAD
