The Cloud Content Repository is empowering faster, smarter content management, capable of processing billions of documents at massive scale
Hyland, the pioneer of the Content Innovation Cloud™ and the leader in open source for enterprise content management and automation, has long demonstrated its commitment to open source through its Nuxeo and Alfresco technologies. Today, Hyland is deepening that commitment by announcing its plans to open source its next-generation, AI-ready Cloud Content Repository — a modern, cloud-native content platform that unites the strengths of Alfresco and Nuxeo. Already live and in production within the Content Innovation Cloud, this repository is actively powering real-world use cases with massive scalability, sub-second performance, and stateless, cloud-native foundation.
“Building on our long history as the industry’s leading open source content vendor, Hyland has consistently championed transparency, collaboration, and innovation,” said Tim McIntire, chief technology officer of Hyland. “By contributing our AI-ready high-performance repository, capable of processing billions of documents at massive scale, to the open source community we’re giving users greater flexibility and choice, while continuing to support federated content architecture and the Content Innovation Cloud for enterprise customers.
Hyland’s next-generation Cloud Content Repository combines decades of open source experience with modern, cloud-native design. Key highlights of this release include:
- Open Source & Best of Both Worlds Commitment: Hyland is contributing to the Alfresco Community GitHub, promoting transparency, community-driven development, and eliminating vendor lock-in while empowering developers to build scalable, future-ready solutions. Combining Nuxeo’s performance architecture with Alfresco’s transformation engine, representing a shared vision for open, intelligent content management.
- Developer Ready & AI-Enhanced: Designed with a headless architecture and open APIs, this repository enables flexible integration and modernization of existing Alfresco installations while ensuring seamless compatibility across Hyland’s content ecosystem. Beyond standard ECM features, it is truly AI-ready, featuring built-in semantic indexing and search capabilities that set it apart from traditional ECM systems by enabling deeper, more intelligent content discovery.
- Cloud-Native, Performance-First Architecture: Built on a stateless, cloud-native foundation, this repository delivers more than just enterprise-grade capabilities — it’s engineered for high-performance at extreme scale. With unlimited horizontal scaling and the same core powering Hyland’s Content Innovation Cloud, it offers real differentiation where it matters most.
Empowering Strategic Repository Choice
Hyland’s content federation architecture continues to empower choice and meets customers where their data is. Choose Hyland’s Alfresco, Nuxeo or OnBase repositories when you need rich content lifecycle management, complex workflows, compliance features, and support for existing integrations as well as case management. Opt for the new cloud-native repository when you require massive scalability, sub-second performance across billions of documents, built-in vector search for AI, and a stateless, event-driven architecture designed for analytics and AI training.
