Let's define 7 benefits of Content Management that your organization can utilize.
Change is undoubtedly difficult. The very concept of digitizing documents, and redefining how content is accessed, shared, and stored could seem overwhelming.
However, in a 2023 Adobe Acrobat survey, 48 percent of respondents said they struggle to find documents quickly and efficiently, while 47 percent feel their company’s online filing system is confusing and ineffective. Furthermore, almost two-thirds of respondents have recreated documents because they couldn’t find the original.
With that in mind, indulge us in sharing a few words from a renowned speaker, author, and American entrepreneur Jim Rohn: “Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.”
