Workforce Productivity & Collaboration

Covering the productivity, collaboration, communications and compliance technologies that are shaping the future of the collaborative work environment.

The Workforce Productivity and Collaboration (WPC) channel delivers market insight and strategic counsel to those deploying, providing and investing in the technologies shaping the future of collaborative work. A key theme for our agenda is how workforce tools are becoming more integrated, intelligent, social, self-organizing, automated and secure, which in turn is redefining how businesses think of their workflows and business processes. In essence, we track the technologies driving this future of work.
