Techaisle Study Reveals that U.S. SMB File Sharing & Collaboration Adoption Will Grow by 52 Percent in the Next Year

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) September 29, 2014

Techaisle’s study on SMB Collaboration Solutions Adoption Trends shows that for 59 percent of US small businesses and 93 percent of US midmarket businesses, collaboration is among the Top 5 IT priorities for investments. In Asia/Pacific, 63 percent of SMBs are turning towards it as a business growth driver and in Western Europe, 68 percent of SMBs are finding that collaboration drives better teamwork and customer responsiveness.

Overall 38 percent of US SMBs are currently using one or more collaboration solutions and another 20 percent are planning to use one within the next year, a growth of 52 percent. Overwhelmingly, SMB customers view online file sharing as the most important aspect of a collaboration solution as 64 percent of SMBs using collaboration are currently using online file sharing (24 percent of all US SMBs) and another 32 percent are planning to use it within the next one year.

The survey data also shows that the next stage in the SMB collaboration adoption is their need for online interaction, that is, simultaneously share and edits files from PCs and mobile devices, mobile video collaboration, integration with social networks, and richer media escalations, such as using chat, text, voice and video at the same time.

As per the study, key business drivers for SMB collaboration adoption are also changing. While currently there is a strong desire to build robust content repositories, the next wave of SMB collaboration adopters are emphasizing speed of innovation, demands for improved productivity, and imperatives for faster time to market.

In terms of brand solution adoption, the SMB market is quite fragmented with Google, Microsoft, and Cisco leading, but there are many other smaller collaboration solution brands that are being used extensively by SMBs. Further analysis of data also underscores the importance and use of collaborative capabilities within SaaS applications such as CRM, ERP, accounting, project management, HR management, business intelligence and content publishing.

With respect to file sharing, Dropbox has had a very strong impact on the SMB collaboration solutions market. By enabling mobile users to share files freely, they at once underscored the central importance of mobility, enabled individual users to be drivers of corporate collaboration activity, and proved the centricity of file-first rather than person-first collaboration models.

Box (another important vendor in the space), on the other hand has gone on record saying that SMBs are not its target market segment. There is a market opportunity for traditional backup and file-sharing IT companies such as Hightail, Carbonite and Egnyte, as well as those delivering mobile workspaces such as Citrix and managed services platform providers such as Continuum and security IT vendors such as Trend Micro. However, the reach for each of these will be limited to the reach of their respective SMB focused channel partners.

Techaisle believes that there are additional file-centric developments that will further shape the nature of SMB file sharing solutions in the years to come. Today, most files are intrinsically connected to the applications that created them. If cloud and mobility are the key determinants of IT delivery, then there would be a need for the decoupling of data from applications. Application-independent data wrapped in rich metadata would allow new cloud-based applications (potentially based on BI platforms) to combine existing data to meet new business requirements. In addition, freed of originating applications, it is also likely that data could be optimally formatted for a wide range of displays: large screen PCs, smaller screen smartphones and tablets, and new display types ranging from signage to digital paper to wearable heads-up displays.

National Study Explores How Technology Supports Patient Engagement Strategies

Auburn, CA and Little Rock, AR (PRWEB) October 23, 2013

A recent study focusing on health information technology (HIT) trends for health care professionals showcases how HIT systems are influencing provider strategies to engage patients and promote better clinical outcomes. This is one of several findings in a new Trend Report published by sponsors of the 2012 Health IT Survey: TCS Healthcare Technologies (TCS), the Case Management Society of America (CMSA), and the American Board of Quality Assurance and Utilization Review Physicians (ABQAURP).

The newest release in a nine-part series, Trend Report #5: Patient Engagement Strategies, reveals how HIT is strengthening provider-patient communications to enhance patient engagement levels. For the first time in the Health IT Survey series, the most recent study asked respondents about their use of new technology to aid with patient monitoring, including patient medication and treatment adherence. To view the report, click here.

“Knowing what types of technology patients currently use, coupled with a firm grasp of the direction IT trends are headed, is invaluable information for care managers and other health care professionals as they fine tune their outreach strategies to keep patients engaged,” says Rob Pock, founder and president, TCS Healthcare Technologies.

The Trend Report identifies some interesting communication and technology trends since the 2010 and 2012 surveys asked participants many of the same patient engagement questions. The study also looks at key sub-verticals in the care management space, which further showcases different trends in how the U.S. health care delivery system works with patients.

The majority of 2012 survey respondents report that most of their clients/patients rely on advice from: primary care physicians (86%), specialist physicians (70%), care managers (69%) and family or friends (59%). These findings are similar to the 2010 survey results, but with a slight uptick in all categories.

“While traditional communication methods such as phone and face-to-face advice from physicians and care managers still dominate the field, the use of new HIT applications and solutions including smartphones, social networking and text messaging is quickly increasing,” notes Cheri Lattimer, RN, BSN, CMSA executive director. “The acceptance of email communication is a perfect example of how care managers can adopt new technologies that patients are comfortable with, and focus their efforts directly on patient guidance and engagement. This shift is also indicative of where we need to more diligently address issues and barriers associated with mobile applications, HIPPA restraints, as well as enhance financial and performance alignment to support advancing technology innovations.”

For the first time in the HIT Survey series, respondents were asked about the use of new technology to aid with patient monitoring, including patient medication and treatment adherence. While a majority of respondents report still using the telephone to monitor patients, remote monitoring solutions appear to be gaining traction. For example, one in four respondents report using heart rate/blood pressure monitoring devices, and one in five respondents report using lifestyle monitoring devices such as pedometers or meal trackers along with medication reminder IT solutions.

This is the third time TCS, CMSA and ABQAURP have joined forces to sponsor the bi-annual survey, with the first survey conducted in 2008. By comparing data from all three surveys – 2012, 2010 and 2008 – the series of 2013 Trend Reports reveals several emerging patterns in health IT use and perception.

“In an increasingly mobile and technology-driven society,” says Joel V. Brill, MD, “providers and their patients now have the ability to utilize tools that were previously unavailable or underutilized in order to open a two-way line of communication with their patients, thereby creating a deeper level of engagement that allows patients to become more meaningfully involved in their own care.” Dr. Brill is a member of the Board of Directors of ABQAURP and medical director of FAIR Health.

“This Health IT series has been designed and supervised by a panel of leading experts in the field,” says Garry Carneal, JD, MA, who has supervised the research project since 2008. “What makes this study so helpful is the tracking and reporting of key health IT trends over a period of time. This information should empower clinicians and others to make more informed decisions about how to adopt and implement new IT solutions in health care.”
