The days of basic data storage and retrieval are behind us. In fact, we’re not even in the Information Age anymore. We’re now in the Use Your Information to Make More-Informed Decisions Age.
I’ll leave it to someone else to come up with a catchier name.
The point is, to drive business value, your organization needs a content services platform that provides full process control, visibility into those processes, and automation tools that empower you to immediately deliver the critical information people need, when and where they need it. It also needs to be able to evolve and grow with your business.
Especially if your organization must meet the needs of an emerging, or increasing, remote workforce.
Here’s the reality of working in the cloud, according to the results of a survey by IDG.

Meanwhile, only 22% said security was an advantage for an on-premises deployment. So let’s wave goodbye to that folklore.
The right cloud provider will constantly evaluate and evolve its practices to protect customer data. With experts taking care of your security, you remove the strain and cost of internal teams trying to keep up with, and prepare for, constantly evolving cybersecurity landscape.

In fact, moving to a hosted content services solution can actually reduce downtime of applications and offer up to 99.99% availability — a downtime of (at most) 52 minutes a year!
Myth, destroyed. Employees, served!

Just as you and your staff are experts in your field, the engineers who manage cloud platforms are experts in their field. Working with a hosted solution means working with the people who built it. This makes your deployment faster, and can provide valuable insight into the options you have when evolving your solutions.
See you later, flexibility fairy tale.
