Sneak Peek into Select Takeaways

Enterprise customers have built solid foundations for employee digital collaboration, but struggle to adopt more advanced, social- and mobile-enabled use cases and have barely begun to transition to creating holistic employee-centered digital workplaces:

• An impressive two-thirds of collaboration projects are completed as planned
• 59% of respondents say they have sufficient internal expertise
• But social networking-oriented applications are roughly only half as mature as collaboration services
• Only 14% of enterprises have mobile-enabled all key social-collaboration applications
• 45% of all customers are not fully utilizing their social-collaboration toolsets
• Only one in eight enterprises consider their digital workplaces to be employee-centered
