ownCloud webinar: Increase Productivity – everywhere for everybody!

On September 12 – which is tomorrow – our partner ownCloud will give a webinar aimed at CIO’s, with the title: “Increase Productivity – everywhere for everybody!“.

One of the key challenges in companies today is the need for seamless digital collaboration across devices, storage systems and geographical locations with internal and external users. The increasing mobile workforce needs enterprise-grade tools for secure collaboration that is compliant with current rules and regulations, but still as easy to use as consumer collaboration software. In everyday work this means that options like Network Drive integrations, FTP or VPNs are not the go-to systems anymore. Users today demand better performance, simpler use and more collaborative functionalities.

In the fourth entry of ownCloud’s CIO Agenda webinar series they will introduce you to solutions for this task. In the 10-minute webinar ownCloud experts will not only showcase how full text search over all data storages accelerates productivity, but also demonstrate online editing and collaboration on documents in real time, using Collabora Online, and data sharing to internal and external parties in a secure way.

In this webinar ownCloud will introduce:

  • How full text search over all data storages accelerates productivity to a maximum.
  • Online editing and collaboration on documents in real time.
  • Sharing data to internal and external parties in a secure way.

Date: September 12, 2017 4.00-4.15 pm CEST / 10 -10.15 am EDT
