Complexity for users also is the bane of heavy-duty content and collaboration applications, and most of these legacy solutions lack mobileoptimized components as well. End result: Users tend to circumvent these IT-approved solutions for consumer-oriented cloud file-sharing tools, so IT loses control over content that may well be subject to regulatory or enterprise privacy, security, compliance or other requirements. It’s no wonder that Gartner’s worldwide survey of CIOs lands mobile and collaboration technologies (workflow) among respondents’ top five technology priorities for 2012. The same survey also stations cloud computing as a high priority. After all, new cloud-based solutions built with enterprise rigor in mind are emerging to help IT leaders meet the many challenges of wellmanaged, anytime and anywhere collaboration for business users.
