This week, we're in Gatineau, Quebec networking with more than 500 government workers as part of our annual Canadian Public Sector Days. This morning, I'm opening up day two of the event with my thoughts on "The Next Big Thing."

To sum it up; we live in a world where billions of people are using trillions of devices to create digital content.

After 125+ years of telephony, 50+ years into the computer era and after 20+ years of the internet age, all organizations, governments and enterprises are seeking ways to be effective and efficient in this digital world.

Open Text was founded at the beginning of the Internet age by two Canadian professors who invented the first Internet search engine. From this beginning, the company has pioneered many advances in developing tools to help governments and enterprises store, retrieve and usefully manage ever-increasing volumes of structured and unstructured information.

The fast rising Digital Content World is the next big thing. The challenge for leaders and knowledge workers is to implement digital frameworks that effectively "control" critical information, while also turbo charging your organization's ability to utilize advances in information management to improve organizational capability while keeping costs and benefits aligned.

We'll be speaking more about this digital revolution over the next little while... Stay tuned.
