Organizations are changing. People want to work in a more efficient and digitalized way allowing them to be successful at their day to day job. Business users want to be involved in the decision around the systems and platforms that are being implemented. However, the pace of change that IT is able to handle might not be in sync with that the business users are asking for. When the IT strategy ignores this movement, shadow IT and employee retention can be impacted negatively. In this webinar, Withum's Fabian Williams, MVP and Jethro Seghers of SkySync, discuss how workforce modernization can help you avoid the issues that might rise with this movement. In this webinar we cover: - How do you make content transparently available for the right users within the right tools? - How do you enable content integration between the different platforms without having to recreate content? - How to implement automation over these disparate data sources into your line of business processes and/or employee interactions - How organizations can embrace change without sacrificing corporate culture & policies.
