Document tools weren’t built for today’s hyper-collaborative world. While the cloud has made sharing and collaborating on docs easier, significant task-siloing issues remain.

When you’re shopping online, you want a simple, cohesive experience. Any issues with pages loading or crashing make consumers frustrated and less likely to continue using that ecommerce retailer. This is reflected in the numbers, too. Research by Amazon and others suggests even 100 milliseconds of increased load time reduces revenue by 1%. But these websites are complex and limited by their infrastructure. How do you make sure pages load quickly in a vast content delivery network?
