According to Gartner, 80% of enterprise data is unstructured “dark” data. Meanwhile McKinsey and Company’s calculations reveal that typical business servers leave 97% of data untouched from the previous year.

One of the most common things I hear other companies say is how they can’t improve diversity because they’re just not getting the diverse candidates.

But our data is in chaos. More and more information is coming in new, and often hefty, formats like audio and video. It's scattered across systems and repositories. Productivity is suffering because of poor information management as employees waste time searching for content. Customers are increasingly frustrated by lengthening wait times for information acquisition. And we've been wrestling with this problem for years.
As with most organizations who deploy Content Server, DMBA wanted users to have a simple experience accessing their documents in Content Server, with no need for user training and even accessible to employees working on Mac OS.
You've probably experienced a loss of internet connection at some point in your life - it casues all kinds of disruption.
