Research Report: Online File Sharing and Collaboration: Deployment Model Trends
ESG Research Report
Feb 27, 2014
ESG surveyed 334 North American IT professionals representing small (fewer than 100 employees), midmarket (100 to 999 employees), and enterprise-class (1,000 employees or more) organizations to find out about their organizations’ usage of, interest in, and opinions regarding online file sharing and collaboration services and deployment model preferences. All respondents were personally responsible for evaluating, purchasing, or managing information technologies needed to store, access, and share company documents and files for their organizations. ESG’s objective was to learn how and where organizations are storing, sharing, and collaborating on their files today, and what their plans are for online file sharing and collaboration technologies over the next few years. ESG investigated the evolution of corporate online file sharing and collaboration (OFS) usage, the reasons organizations currently use or plan to adopt (or do not plan to adopt) various deployment models, and the features and criteria customers look for during the purchasing process.
