With widespread adoption of remote work, increase in digitalization, and a sudden shift towards work from home culture in response to lockdown restrictions & social distancing policy imposed by governments of various countries, many enterprises shifted their businesses online, relying heavily on CMS platforms to create, store, capture, manage & distribute unstructured content more efficiently and affordably. Also, lockdown policies imposed by government to prevent the spread of virus facilitated the adoption of cloud-based CMS solutions by companies across various industries to store data in a more secure and remote manner, with cloud-based CMS software eliminating the need for upfront capital investment & IT infrastructure and making website development more secure, user friendly and cost-effective by offering robust set of data security measures like regular backups, disaster recovery, multi-factor authentication, data encryption, access control and auditing and reporting options to ensure data privacy and protection.
