Integrating content software with popular collaboration and communication tools , such as Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams , gives content teams complete visibility of all their company data from a single platform .

With only 33 % of surveyed IT professionals confident that their organizations ' unstructured data is adequately governed , there is a real risk of businesses committing regulatory infractions while suffering from substantial fines and potential criminal prosecution .

Many IT professionals are pushing for automated data governance processes , with over three-quarters believing their company would gain a significant competitive advantage if information security and compliance operations were automated . unless businesses can process all of this information into utilizable content .

One way businesses can address this is by introducing integrative content tools into operations . Integrating content software with popular collaboration and communication tools , such as Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams , gives content teams complete visibility of all their company data from a single platform . In this way , data professionals easily monitor , process , store and remove company data – resulting in their organizations getting the most out of their unstructured data .

The introduction of complex data privacy regulations globally has made data governance more challenging . Aside from Singapore ' s Personal Data Protection Act , locally based companies must also comply with the policies and legislation of other countries , such as the European Union ' s General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR ), when collecting data from overseas .

Even enterprises with significant investments in mainframe technologies can also automate their information security and compliance operations . Through the right combination of content modernization solutions , IT teams can leverage the power of automation and innovative practices to content operations , regardless of infrastructure .

While outdated processes and a lack of automation continue to hinder content management efforts , businesses are ostensibly making changes .

Rocket Software ’ s survey found that around a third of IT professionals say that modernization efforts will ramp up , such as the introduction of integrative content software , over the next 18 months .

Organizations can keep up by implementing solutions that govern and leverage all of their content . Through content management software , organizations gain complete visibility , which boosts data utilization , raising agility and resilience . p
