"Around the world, organizations are engaged in digital transformation projects, harnessing new technology to change the way they work and the way they communicate with customers and business partners, " said Dr Pehong Chen, President and CEO of BroadVision. "But all too often, these initiatives are fragmented and disconnected from other projects in the organization. Vmoso's Digital Enterprise Transformation Hub acts a central point for communication, collaboration and knowledge management, enabling individual projects to flourish in a heterogeneous IT infrastructure."
