AIIM's research study, "Big Data and Content Analytics -- Measuring the ROI," sought to find out more. Below, see the five key trends from the research project.

10 InfoChaos Insights from the Big Bang of Social, Economic, Political and Evolutionary Change

As many of you know, well-known futurist Thornton May (and a former AIIM Board Chair) is one of the keynote speakers at The AIIM Conference 2014 (April 1-4, in Orlando).
