  Contracting In The Cloud

"Electronic signatures have been gaining momentum for years, but until the past few years they were slow to take hold as a common business practice. Vendors tended to deliver e-signature technology in complex, complicated and expensive forms, rather than deliver offerings that incorporate e-signatures into the overall contract process. As a result, e-signatures did not realize their potential to improve the customer experience and organizations continued the way they always have. . . ."

Design the Right Content Storage Strategy for a Successful SharePoint Upgrade
An upgrade to SharePoint 2010 or 2013 is an opportunity to increase user adoption and improve sharing and collaboration. But increased use also means a significant spike in content leading to performance strains, expensive storage and back-up delays. Can your current SharePoint infrastructure handle the use and growth that will come with the new SharePoint version?

BEST PRACTICES IN SOCIAL KM AND COLLABORATION

This is the year that “social” became part of the business vernacular. No longer trivialized as “just messin’ around,” social media have become a solid part of most organizations’ business activity.

But at what cost? How does social affect the background of organizations? What impact does it have on the technology infrastructure? What does social mean to the relationships with customers… partners… competitors…?

Those questions, and more, are forefront in the minds of business leaders as we speak. They want to know how to improve their customer awareness, their partner relationships and their overall “storefront” image by applying social tools to improve their positions in their marketplaces.

If this sounds like a race to the top, you’re right. Any solution that provides a quicker path to better collaboration and better customer contact is on the shopping list of most organizations right now. Do you have a play in that? Deliver your message to the KMWorld audience by participating in our next white paper, “Best Practices in Social KM and Collaboration.” It’s urgent and time is passing fast.

MEET THE LEADERS IN INFORMATION GOVERNANCE

At KMWorld, we believe that great solutions providers do not simply appear out of thin air. There is always a driving force, a personality and a vision that stand behind every successful vendor. The leadership that allows companies to innovate and create great solutions is the key element in establishing and maintaining excellence.

We want to get to know those driving personalities. So we have created a new forum. We call it “Meet The Leaders.” This time we’re focusing on an urgent and pressing concern among business leaders, legal counsel and corporate management alike—Information Governance. We want to get to know the thought-leaders in this fast-moving and business-critical aspect of business, and what their business philosophies and go-to-market strategies look like. What does the future feel like to them? What will be the next “have-to” trend? How will they guide their organizations from here to there?

The “Meet The Leaders” series is a prestigious way to communicate your top executives’ core beliefs to the KMWorld audience and information management marketplace.
