An increasing number of organizations are digitizing their business processes to improve productivity and reduce costs and the risk of human error. Often organizations start by scanning to email where a person scans a document that is sent into their personal email inbox and is then manually delivered to the final destination. This is extremely bad for businesses, and replacing scan to email should be a key part of any organization’s digitization strategy.

Content Migration | Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
Never have the risks of disruption – and the rewards of nimbleness and agility and creativity -- been higher. SaaS solutions to enterprise problems – with far fewer aches and pains to business types -- have swept through corporate America. For years, Boomers had the benefit of numbers – after all, they still represented the majority of the workforce and dominated the C-Level within organizations. By 2020, those pesky Gen X, Y, and Z folks will be 80% of the workforce. The Boomers – and the institutional knowledge they have – will largely be gone.

Change is never easy and can be difficult and even downright frightening. A new process or technology being introduced can bring up thoughts of: How is this new process going to change what I do?

Certified Information Professional (CIP)
I’m way too old for this! Seriously, do you know how long it’s been since I’ve taken a major exam?! Besides, I’m not a good test taker! These were just some of the excuses that were preventing me from taking the CIP exam. Well, apparently, I’m not too old, and I’m a better test taker than I expected. I recently took the CIP prep class at AIIM’s headquarters in Silver Spring, MD, took the exam, and I passed. Woo hoo!!!!

Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
“Content is data in context.” Don’t quote me on that. I didn’t say it. I don’t know who said it. To be accurate, I should say that I don’t know who said it first. Lately, whenever I hear that statement, it’s in the form of “They say, content is data in context.”
