Opinions and discussion on content management by one of the biggest guys in the business. *Measured by weight not volume
Disclaimer: A friendly reminder that the following is my opinion and not that of my employer. In the midst of my recent binge watching I have been subjected to an exceedingly annoying marketing campaign droning on about the wonderfulness of Microsoft Teams during the pandemic. After 1500 viewings, of which a disturbing number were while... Continue Reading →
Every one of us are living the Zoom life with our working days comprised of meeting after meeting on video. This shift will be one of the long lasting impacts of the pandemic as we have readjusted our expectations for what it means to meet together. Along with this comes the ability to easily record...

Everyone is struggling with working from home as we collectively face a global pandemic. Meme's in the millions about it are on every platform.

But having someone that knows where the other vendors in your space are heading can be valuable. I can just imagine how vendors in the Content Services Platform, a.k.a. ECM,... Continue Reading →
(Added some post publishing clarification and correction ***) Last week I attended Boxworks, my first Box conference. I’ve been following Box for some time but really hadn’t jumped on the bandwagon.
