Why Shinydocs?

Benefit to People -  Find what you need, don't worry about where it is stored or which system to look.

Benefit to IT - You can make great choices as to what and where to move and Secure Content.  The same way People can find exactly what they need, IT can find and know exactly what is in each System and what they need to Secure. 

IT: The nice humans responsible for ensuring technical Systems are operating properly and Secure.

People: Defined as everyone else but IT

Problem: Content (defined as Documents, Files, Media, Records, and Data) is distributed across many Systems making it difficult for People to find and understand.

Problem: IT has traditionally attempted (and sadly often failed) to get People to move to "one system to rule them all" like SharePoint.  The problem is that the variety of use cases, content volumes, and data formats makes for expensive migrations and for some use cases, impossible to consolidate.

Idea: People want to find what they need to do their job.  Where or how something is stored matters less than the findability and usability of the Content.

Conflict: IT needs to make sure the Content is Secure and the underlying Systems are stable.  Content "everywhere" in different systems is harder to secure, hence the desire to consolidate.

Idea: While IT is trying to figure out where Content should be to make sure it is Secure, you can use AI Search that allows people to find what they need regardless of where content is.

Solution: When People can find the Content they need, then IT can move Content or modify underlying systems without disrupting users, as the AI Search will simply adapt to the new location when the Content moves for security, cost, stability, or any other reason.
