'As the amount of content in organizations continues to grow exponentially and is spread across many storage systems and cloud applications, it's becoming difficult for employees to figure out how to quickly and efficiently access what they need to get their jobs done,' said Jain. The rationale behind the offering is clearly articulated by Egnyte. The idea is to decouple the 'where is the content?' questions from anything related to user experience. The desktop app leverages a user experience that most people are familiar with - the Mac Finder or Windows Explorer - and via this gives access to every piece of content a user needs. This latest release, however, includes a desktop application which gives users the ability to collaborate on any corporate content with no limits on file size, type or location.

To explain what is going on here, Egnyte Connect has always been about bringing together content sitting in different siloed repositories. This is the thinking behind Egnyte's latest release of its Connect product, a release that - in unusually bombastic style for one so modest - Egnyte CEO Vineet Jain says will 'build a 'Content Superhighway' to accelerate productivity.' If you're a vendor in the content collaboration space that wants to really make a difference to knowledge workers' productivity, your key challenge is to collapse this complexity - or at least find ways to obfuscate the actual complexity that exists. This problem holds true within the organization where workers of today are bombarded by information from (and in) a plethora of different places.

Those days are well and truly gone and we're all awash in information, much of it fake or - at best - alternative. Sometimes I yearn for the good old days where news was delivered on printed paper once a day, and information was either gleaned from one's school friends or alternatively from that huge collection of Encyclopedia Britannica your parents purchased in a moment of weakness.
