Thank you to everyone who joined us for State of Egnyte: Spring 2026. Whether you joined us live on March 31st or are catching up now, here's a full recap of everything we covered as well as a link to the full session recording.
Vision and AI Maturity
Rajesh Ram, Chief Growth Officer, opened with a look at where Egnyte is headed in 2026 and how the platform has evolved from its roots in secure file sharing into a connected workplace spanning collaboration, intelligence, and governance.
Mike Soldan, SVP of Global Technical Solutions, introduced Egnyte's AI Maturity Model and made the case that AI is only as good as the context it works from. Egnyte sits at the intersection of your content, permissions, and governance, built to be that context layer so your AI works from the right information, every time.
