Do current tools enhance knowledge sharing? Do employees trust the security of their internal systems?

The Importance of Multi-Repository Search

By Dwayne Weppler

By Irwin Lazar, VP and Service Director, Nemertes Research
If you can’t find it, does it exist? For most workers the answer to that question is likely “no” but in reality, the answer may just be that the information hasn’t been properly indexed into the enterprise search engine.

Can Chat Apps Alone Connect Your Workforce?

By Dwayne Weppler

Conversation, collaboration and connection: they fuel innovation, drive workflows, and promote a healthy culture. Yet despite the abundance of communication tools available today, both employees and organizations still face communication challenges that stifle engagement and productivity.
