The first thing most of us notice after a major software update is a completely redesigned user interface. However, a new user experience is typically the result of a shift in product focus. In version 2.0, our primary focus was on intelligent data retrieval. The idea was to allow users to work on any file in the same way they would for files stored on their machine(s).

We’re constantly reminded of just how much data impacts our lives, from influencing elections around the world to monitoring employees at work. But there are many more situations we rarely hear about, like the competitors in the Esport championships using data to win a multi-million dollar prize. As technology writer Andrew Wooden puts it, “data has become, quite literally, a game changer.”

Keeping pace with change. Out with the old, in with the disruptive. Digital disruption has changed every aspect of business and now more than ever, people are paying close attention to the way businesses approach data security. During the 2018 Egnyte Customer Summit, industry leaders presented compelling insight into how the data landscape is evolving and how businesses are being forced to adapt.

So what exactly is Infrastructure Modernization? “Infrastructure Modernization” is fast becoming the new buzz-term in business IT, but since it was coined there’s been some questions as to what it really means, why it’s becoming increasingly important, and what can be done to address the challenges it raises.

If Gmail is your preferred email platform, we’ve got some exciting news for you. A few months ago, we quietly released the first part of our integration with Gmail. The integration enables users to save email attachments to Egnyte without leaving their inbox. It offers a simple way to keep attachments organized, accessible and easy to share with colleagues.

The cloud enables teams to collaborate on shared files from anywhere in the world. Whether hosted internally or through a third-party provider, the cloud may very well be one of the biggest collaborative resources to date. Unfortunately, greater accessibility means an increased risk of data loss or theft. For some enterprises, this is a worst-case scenario.

In today’s digital world, modern enterprises need a modern strategy for managing ongoing customer relationships. Salespeople are constantly sending out documents like quotes, sales orders, and invoices, but as processes become more complex, it becomes harder to track every document for every deal. The Egnyte Connect extension for Zoho CRM simplifies this process by providing sales teams and their customers with easy, secure access to all their documents.

At Egnyte, we love building new ways to help our customers use and deploy integrations within their organization. But as an organization grows, they might need more flexibility and control over which employees use which integration.
