Hello again!

First things first, we’re glad you like our newsletter! Each month we email it to thousands of customers worldwide, while many others read it on our community sites (IM&G and Collaboration and Endpoint Management). Whichever way you choose, thanks for tuning in—the response has been tremendous.

For first-time readers, the Micro Focus IM&G Customer Newsletter covers all things under Information Management and Governance. Topics include archiving, collaboration, advanced analytics, content management, endpoint management, and backup-recovery solutions.

Enjoy the newsletter and see you in the New Year.

Technology Showcase—Remote Worker Productivity

“Remote collaboration in some form or another is the new normal,” as one writer puts it. Users, administrators, and teammates can assume nothing, while their infrastructure and means of collaboration need urgent review. Micro Focus’ Nick Scholz explains how a new approach to employee empowerment can turn the remote worker challenge into a genuine opportunity.

Be sure to also read Digitisation World’s “A resilient approach to remote working,” by Joe Garber, global head of strategy and solutions at Micro Focus.
