"More and more organizations are recognizing that in the digital age, their data and their collective knowledge are two of their prime assets", said Dr Pehong Chen, President and CEO of BroadVision. "Yet many organizations do not have these assets under control. Far too often, knowledge is lost in departmental silos or inappropriate consumer-focused apps ill-suited for business use. As a hub for digital enterprise transformation, Vmoso connects all these different sources of knowledge so employees can get the information they need, when they need it".
