New Data Types in the App Age
Today's knowledge workers create information at a breathtaking rate. Email, documents, video, audio, chats and collaboration platforms are all part of the standard kit for today's mobile workforce.

As organizations grow more global, mobile and collaborative, more critical interactions are taking place in these new channels. To address these issues, a corporation can take three important steps.
