We’ve just published the first in a series of thought leadership briefings. In our first briefing we explore how cloud-based content storage and management, when fully integrated with secure collaboration and document delivery services are a pretty revolutionary combination for facilitating teamwork across the enterprise. At first glance, you might not think that social media and a product like Mobile Library™ would make sense together. However, in our briefing we take a careful look at how secure social media really is the tool set allowing researchers and other professionals to collaborate in ways that were not possible before.

Most of us use FaceBook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other social media sites in our personal lives. The one thing all these platforms have in common is that they allow us to follow friends and colleagues, share, comment, offer opinions, advice and communicate in a simple, easy fashion. Imagine the value of being able to do all that within your company while remaining compliant in a completely secure environment!

Global companies have been trying for years to create systems that facilitate collaboration amongst their employees. All companies understand that effective collaboration leads to higher productivity and ultimately, more innovation. That is why the concept of consumer-style social media as a tool for collaboration makes sense in the context of our Mobile Library product, enabling R&D and other professionals to share, comment, offer their opinions and advice to make their work and workgroups more efficient and productive. That’s why we added secure, social media tools as an integral component of the Mobile Library’s scientific document delivery service. No one has ever done this before!
