During these times of social distancing and a need for most of us to work from home, the traditional ‘on-prem’ document strategy is causing problems. Over and over, we hear about a lack of access, lack of searchability and lack of confidence combining into an inability to be effective. If you have some combination of:
- Network drives (with the only way to search is by traversing thru a folder structure)
- 10+ year old document management systems
- Old SharePoint (let’s not forget how SharePoint 2013 and older are already at end of support)
- A mix of all of the above
Odds are you also content with:
- Content ROT (redundant, obsolete and trivial) files clogging up the search results
- Redundant – Copies upon copies of the same file existing more than once across systems.
- Obsolete – documents for business transactions from many years ago that are no longer relevant to the business
- Trivial – your mother’s cheese cake recipe…or worse some random documents that have nothing to do with work.
- No federated ‘collection’ – If you want to look across multiple repositories it is done one at a time. Add to this a lack of metadata (the data about each file) being incomplete or non-existent (like in a network drive).
- Technologies that are only effective when in the office. Because of firewalls, network limitations and beyond – working with some of these technologies is harder to maneuver at home versus in an office.
