Compliance | Information Security | Privacy
The disclosures this week from Yahoo, about government access to private emails, have fueled another round of discussions about the role of privacy and security in an internet/social age. One of the issues that I think is not fully understood about this issue – especially in the U.S. – is the fundamentally different perspectives about privacy that exist in Europe, and how those differences then manifest themselves into policy.

Enterprise File Sync and Share (EFSS)
Are your employees using file sharing tools that you don’t want them to use? If so, you are not alone. In fact, 65 percent of organizations surveyed reported that they are aware that their employees are using unsanctioned file sharing tools, according to a new AIIM research report. And the fact that the other 35 percent said they are “not aware” of employees using unsanctioned tools is not necessarily reassuring, as this is not an indication that it’s not happening.

Business Process Management (BPM) | Manufacturing
I've been doing some research on content management, and its utilization in manufacturing, mass-production companies (like food and pharma), plants, and refineries, and will be going through this research in a series of posts over the next few weeks. Around the globe, these companies are clearly approaching a crossroads. Per Guy Bieber, director of strategy and architecture at Citrix, looming ahead for manufacturers is a revolutionary moment, driven by 3-D printing and the Internet of Things: “The breakthrough moment will come when one customized part costs the same per unit to produce as a million of the same part.”

Accounting and Finance | Automation
This is the second of three posts on the theme -- CFOs and Finance Directors: Neglected Players in the Drive for Digital Transformation. The first post was here. The core point of the three posts is the financial process automation creates a value stream in two directions. It is a proven source of cost reduction for companies looking for marginal but sustaining competitive advantage, something that Finance Directors can use to "manage up" in their organizations in making a case for resources to drive financial process automation, which is the focus of this post. Financial process automation also creates the foundation for sound analytics and business intelligence, a priority of great concern to the C-Suite, which will be the focus of the third post.
