This article focuses on open source enterprise content management (ECM), Web content management (WCM), and collaboration tools that are supported on Microsoft Windows.

Summary
Drupal, Alfresco, and many other open source ECMs, WCMs, and collaboration tools run effectively on Windows. And this configuration allows organizations to maintain the benefits―maintenance of existing IT skills, management tools, and operational practices―derived from standardizing on the Windows platform. Organizations should feel comfortable remaining with Windows as their underlying operating system for ECM, WCM, and collaboration tools, regardless of the individual application choice they make to support those needs.
