Throughout the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) industry, organizations are making strong moves towards mobile content access and process interaction. According to AIIM research, most organizations agree that it is vital not to be left behind.

But, this trend has left many asking:

How should mobile/cloud change the way our organization develops content and deploys processes?

Let's take a look at what the data is telling us:

  • Get moving, or risk the business proceeding without you -> Individuals are largely in favor of moving ECM content to the cloud (71%), mostly as a small on-prem/large cloud hybrid. Their organizations are less positive, with 48% in favor of cloud, 28% resolutely against, and 28% with no decision made as yet.
  • There is a shift toward platforms with greater agility -> Per Forrester, “Some firms are turning to new, “low-code” application platforms that accelerate app delivery by dramatically reduce the amount of hand-coding required. Faster delivery is the primary benefit of these application platforms; they also help firms respond more quickly to customer feedback after initial software releases and provision mobile and multichannel apps.
