The Gartner Digital Workplace Summit 2025 in Grapevine, Texas, was an incredible opportunity to explore the future of work and how enterprises can balance security, compliance, and usability in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. This year’s theme, Empowering Today’s Employees for Tomorrow’s Digital Workplace, highlighted the need to modernize collaboration without sacrificing governance.
eSHARE at Gartner Digital Workplace Summit 2025
eSHARE made a strong impact at this year’s summit, with Chief Product Officer Mark Cassetta, leading an insightful session and our team showcasing hands-on demos at Booth #301. A recurring theme throughout the event was Trusted Collaboration—how organizations can ensure seamless yet secure external collaboration without the burdens of restrictive governance.
Key Takeaways from Mark Cassetta’s Presentation
Mark Cassetta’s session, "Build Bridges, Not Barriers – Achieving Trusted Collaboration in the AI Era," tackled one of the biggest challenges enterprises face today: striking the right balance between security and collaboration.
Here are the key insights from his talk:
◘ AI is accelerating the need to rethink collaboration and governance: As AI reshapes the workplace, organizations must modernize governance to keep pace.
◘ Governance barriers can be overcome with Trusted Collaboration bridges: Instead of restricting access, organizations should implement secure, seamless collaboration frameworks.
◘ The principles of Trusted Collaboration: Successful collaboration depends on two key elements—character (friendly and authentic) and competence (performant and skilled).
◘ Trusted Collaboration is Native, Frictionless, Omni-Channel, Secure: This is the foundation for modernizing both collaboration and governance.
◘ Modern Collaboration means link-based sharing anytime, anywhere: Over 90% of users prefer link-based sharing over file downloads.
◘ Trusted Collaboration also modernizes governance for the AI era by:
• Applying continuous policies
• Leveraging dynamic signals
• Democratizing governance
