Platform architecture

A layered platform for content, process, applications, AI and analytics

ALFO sits above the repositories and business systems you already run — adding the configurable content, process, application and intelligence layer that turns them into operational solutions.

Platform architecture

A layered platform—not another silo.

ALFO sits above existing repositories and business systems as the configurable content, process, application and intelligence layer. It can complement SharePoint and Microsoft 365 or operate as a complete stand-alone platform.

The ALFO Platform Framework — interfaces, automation, knowledge and content services over one governed core.

Experience layer

Responsive browser, mobile and Microsoft-connected experiences for employees, partners and external users.

Fluent-ready UX

Content & business services

Documents, records, contracts, CRM, cases, forms, eSignatures and reusable application components.

Modular services

Workflow & rules engine

Visual process design, routing, approvals, exceptions, escalations, timers, delegation and service levels.

Automation

AI & analytics layer

Governed search, summaries, comparison, extraction, recommendations, operational dashboards and Power BI reporting.

Grounded intelligence

Integration layer

Microsoft Graph, supported APIs, connectors, events, Power Automate and Azure integration services for loose, governed coupling.

ERP neutral

Security, governance & data foundation

Entra ID, MFA, role-based access, encryption, audit, retention and governed storage across ALFO and connected repositories.

Preserve and extend

Your information stays useful wherever it lives.

ALFO connects content and data across Microsoft and enterprise systems, while adding the workflows, controls and applications that turn repositories into operational solutions.

  • Connect through supported interfaces rather than brittle direct database coupling.
  • Adopt by department, process or enterprise program without a forced rip-and-replace.
  • Maintain one governed audit history across content, tasks, approvals and decisions.

Digital transformation that reaches operations

Replace fragmented work—not every system.

01

Capture information once

Bring paper, email, forms, scanned documents, files and system data into controlled digital processes with classification and metadata from the start.

02

Move work automatically

Route approvals, tasks, exceptions and escalations using business rules, timers, delegation, service levels and reusable workflow patterns.

03

Connect the complete business record

Link documents, forms, communications, contracts, cases, people, vendors and transactions into one contextual view.

04

Govern every action

Preserve identity, access, versions, approvals, acknowledgements, retention, legal holds and audit history across the information lifecycle.

Deployment choice

Run ALFO where your obligations require.

The deployment model is a configuration decision, not a platform constraint — and it can change as regulatory and operational requirements change.

SaaS

FileVision-operated multi-tenant service with tenant isolation, managed updates and operational monitoring.

Private cloud

A dedicated tenant in your own cloud subscription where data residency and isolation are contractual requirements.

Enterprise cloud

Deployed inside an existing enterprise cloud landing zone under your own governance and network controls.

On-premises

Installed in your own data centre where regulation, sovereignty or connectivity rules out hosted operation.
