Enterprise Agility: A Must Do – No Longer Nice to Have
Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
Have you taken time lately to think about how today, everything happens fast and needs to get faster? Especially your critical business processes ranging from human resources, marketing, sales, engineering—everything seems to be running at a breakneck pace. The reality is that work is always working, even if we aren’t directly involved.
This means that businesses must work to keep up. It is no longer acceptable to put off responses, or even take days to react to an inquiry or issue escalation, and it is no longer acceptable to look at information and process management in isolation or from in internal-only view.
Business information must be seamlessly linked and processes more tightly integrated with ways that enable businesses to be more agile and responsive to customer needs – both internal and external. The agile enterprise leverages its flexibility for efficiency, finesse, and value by improving efficiency, enhancing content value, and increasing accessibility. With a more agile enterprise, businesses can:
- Leverage existing technologies to solve new problems through reuse.
- Outsource business processes to the cloud.
- Improve collaboration among an unbound workforce.
- Implement incremental change and operational improvements across the enterprise.
The time is now to transform your business processes and information management practices into a more customer-centric position through the combination of governance, continuous improvement, and technological automation. For more ideas on how to move your organization forward, I encourage you to take time to download and read the FREE paper titled “The Agile Enterprise: A Welcome Change” from the AIIM Resource Center. The cost of failure is high, and the risk of providing a solution that doesn’t solve the problem is greater still. Can you afford not to explore new options?
