WASHINGTON, June 1 /-- Alfresco Software, Inc., the first and leading provider of open source enterprise content management solutions, has been recognized as a Laureate by the Computerworld Honors Program. This year's Honorees will be commemorated during the 19th Annual Laureates Medal Ceremony & Gala Awards Evening on June 4, 2007 at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. For almost two decades, Computerworld Honors Program has acknowledged those individuals and organizations that have used information technology to benefit society.
