Facebook Vetting of Potential Employees – Not without Some Risks to the Employer

By: John Mancini January 25th, 2011

I had an interesting conversation with Michelle Sherman yesterday after publishing my post on Poking the Soft Underbelly of Social Media. She writes on social media issues for a very insightful blog, Social Media Law Update, for a law firm. Her articles related to e-discovery and retention are particularly interesting.

Poking at the Soft Underbelly of Social Media

By: John Mancini January 23rd, 2011

Now in the spirit of true confession, let me admit that I am a social media zealot. I was an early member of Facebook (according to my daughter, perilously close to the creepy edge before it was mainstream). I've been blogging for years on the AIIM Blog. Ditto Twitter, pretty early on. Together with Atle Skjekkeland, I launched an early content management social network (InformationZen) on a Ning platform over a weekend after our IT people told us it would be at least six months before they could get to it. Inside of AIIM, we were playing around with Yammer before IT even knew what was going on. My list of sins in the name of small business expediency is not insignificant.

A History of Enterprise IT in One Slide

By: John Mancini January 13th, 2011

I just got back from keynoting a very stimulating Kofax conference in Barcelona. 500+ people and an awful lot of energy in the room. Plus it didn't hurt that the event was in Barcelona, which is just a terrific city. One of the slides I used seemed to attract a fair amount of attention, so I include it here. I call it my "history of Enterprise IT in one slide" slide so I thought I would share it with my blog readers.

8 Risks Organizations Can Avoid by Using a Document Management Solution

By: John Mancini January 13th, 2011

Technological advances over the last two decades have impacted not only our personal lives but the business world too. While they have created opportunities for businesses, they have also raised challenges. The single-largest challenge faced by organizations across the globe lies within - the challenge of managing information effectively. Whether you are a large enterprise, an independent professional or a small business, managing information effectively is one of the keys to successful operations and survival in tough times. Most of the information businesses manage is in the form of documents - be it paper-based or electronic. Organizations that adopt electronic document management systems (EDMS) definitely have a better grip over business processes. In fact, not having a sound EDMS can present several risks, something that no business can afford.
