The Road to Secure Collaboration

Email dominates business communications despite being little more than a one-to-one/one-to-many “push” technology that hasn’t kept pace with the modern business world, doesn’t facilitate true interactive, many-to-many collaboration, and suffers from a range of size and security restrictions due to its underlying SMTP-based infrastructure. For instance, stakeholders can only exchange marked-up digital documents--which require consolidation and redistribution for verification--rather than share and develop one copy of a digital document. And in 2012, that simply won’t suffice.
