It’s no secret that the IT landscape continues to experience major shifts resulting from new and transformative technological advances in the mobile and cloud computing markets. The combination of mobile and cloud enables organizations to implement solutions based on their preferred and practical deployment model. Meaning, it’s no longer our way, it’s your way! The mobile + cloud value proposition undoubtedly has already had a profound impact on Enterprise Content Management (ECM) as it represents an opportunity for real-time capture, real-time delivery and real-time access to content.

Capturing content at the point of mobile origin further extends these benefits as organizations are able to capture a broader range of critical content earlier in the business process.
