The twin drivers for change in the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) world are mobile and cloud. Mobile technologies unlock access to content on the move, capture to cloud, capture to process, remote workflows, and cloud-based collaboration.

But, with any change comes new challenges. There are still many issues to resolve between traditional back-office systems and new cloud and mobile solutions like hybrid options.

How is mobile changing how you capture and create process-based content? Let's take a look at what the data is telling us:

  • Mobile is increasingly core to business strategy -> Two-thirds of respondents recognize the importance of mobile devices for content access and data capture. 25% are keen to exploit mobile, and 9% see it as a “required option for all processes.”
  • Mobile places an ad hoc scanner and form generator in the pocket of every employee, customer, and partner.
  • Information captured via mobile devices contains a host of useful metadata.
