Special Report: Optimize the Digital Workplace by Shifting to Work Platforms

The Digital Workplace is placing new demands on business users and managers. When it comes to collaboration and knowledge sharing in the enterprise, fostering productivity can be a challenge. Seamless workflows are being interrupted by disparate applications and analog procedures that slow down the process of getting work done, sharing information, and finding and generating content. These challenges have led to the rise of Work Platforms, aimed at providing business users with a digitally-enabled work experience.

Work Platforms help individuals manage work as well as teams and groups. They are capable of significantly more than just tracking tasks, which today is the primary capability that will evolve over time. Sophisticated work platforms will enable digital workflows and automated document generation. Real-time analytics generated by these platforms will provide managers and senior executives with the critical operational visibility they need in order to continually improve business results. This Special Report contains carefully selected research that will help you become more familiar with Work Platforms, the providers offering them, and how you can get started.
