Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are often working on a shoestring budget. The last thing they need is poorly managed workflows.

Without a unified platform, organisations spend more time searching for documents, contracts, invoices and policies, than completing tasks.

Lazhar Sehetal, Senior Director and Regional VP of Southern EMEA at intelligent content management platform Box, has witnessed first-hand how organisations are investing in AI before asking whether their content is trustworthy, current and governed.

“AI does not create value in a vacuum,” he says. “When that foundation of data is missing and content is scattered across shared drives, legacy systems and disconnected applications, AI has nothing reliable to work with.”

With AI adoption accelerating fast, businesses should be building a secure and governed content foundation for the technology to be used effectively.
