Drupal
Drupal is a free and open source Content Management system (CMS)
written in PHP. It is used as a back-end system for many different
types of corporate and community websites such as:

              World Wildlife Fund Whitehouse.gov
              MTV                    NBC
              Best Buy               Symantec

Drupal allows content producers and authors to publish and update
content on websites through a web based interface without having
technical knowledge.
Alfresco
Alfresco is an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform capable
of organizing, distributing, managing, and archiving an entire
company’s asset base in a single repository for both internal and
external use.


Alfresco’s flexible open source Java based platform provides a secure,
low cost integrated solution for the management of:
               Documents                   Images
                Web Content                 Audio and Video
                Records                     and more..
SproutCore

The SproutCore framework was originally created in 2007 by Charles
Jolley and his team at Apple. It is a critical building block for MobileMe,
iWork, and now iCloud. After several years at Apple, Charles left to start
Strobe Inc. which was recently acquired to Facebook.


SproutCore is an HTML 5 and JavaScript technology that allows for the
creation of web and mobile applications across multiple platforms such
as iOS, Blackberry and Android. The application can be coded once
and deployed to every platform.

Architectural Benefits
Simple JSON REST API integrates easily into both Alfresco and
Drupal. CMIS is available and used where needed.

By replicating data between the 2 applications there are no
unnecessary coding made to either application's data model or data
access model.

Because each application can talk with its own database as they
were intended you get the full set of features of each application as
they are meant to work.

There are many options in terms of scaling the application, for
example you can have a low end Alfresco implementation combined
with a high scale large volume Drupal frontend and vice versa.
