Mancini’s Law and the Impact of InfoChaos
Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
We had a terrific time at The AIIM Conference 2014 -- such awesome attendees and sponsors. We are grateful for the trust they all put in us to take 3 days out of their schedule and share with us and with each other - more on that in my next post.
