Keep your finger on the pulse of Intelligent Information Management with industry news, trends, and best practices.
As many of you know, over the past few months, I have voiced some concerns about the match between technology strategies, AMS (Association Management Systems) capabilities, and the need for CEOs to get engaged and own their organization’s technology strategies. You may recall my somewhat hyperbolic e-book, “The AMS as We Know it is Dead,” likening our AMS systems to the German word EierLegendeVollMicheSau, the fictional perfect farm animal, uniting the qualities of chickens (laying eggs), sheep (producing wool), cows (giving out milk) and pigs (can be turned into bacon).

Here are 5 great books to help create a framework to understand the disruptive times that are ahead. As consumerization, mobile and cloud, and the Internet of Things sweep through our organizations over the next few years, some organizations will be prepared, agile, and thrive, and others will be left in the dust by competitors they never event imagined. The authors of these books will all also be speaking at AIIM15. Here’s the official AIIM15 must-read list:

Making an ECM implementation successful requires planning and attention to detail. The best way to create the right solution is to identify organizational goals and priorities. Learn how to manage a successful implementation in our free guide.
The core conclusions of a recent AIIM study on SharePoint are that a) the platform is somewhat ubiquitous in just about any organization at scale, and it likely isn't going away and b) organizations are increasingly restless and uncertain figuring out where to go with it. So there's plenty of insight and data for lovers and haters alike.

The Many Uses of Email By Lisa Ricciuti Despite all the methods of communication, email is still popular and has become as necessary as a phone number or mailing address. Similar to calling somebody, email has become a standard mode of communication, with the expectation being that everybody should have an email address. Email started out as a simple communication tool but is now used for much more than that. In many ways, email has made my life easier. It allows me to: Contact people all over the world for free (or inexpensively) Communicate with more than one person at a time Document interactions (e.g., the highly prized CYA paper-trail) Leave messages any time... >>READ MORE

The five predictions below are by Tom Koulopoulos from the Delphi Group. From Tom: -- "As a child, I couldn’t grasp the concept of gravity. If you drop an object from twice as high, it doesn’t take twice as long to reach the ground. It only takes 1.4 times as long. The reason is that the higher the object the more time it has to accelerate. (Yes, for those of you who did pay attention in physics class, I’m leaving out air resistance, distance from sea level, and terminal velocity.) The simplest analogy is to think of pulling onto a highway. When you accelerate from 0-105 KPH in ten seconds, you are actually covering more ground with each passing second." So what does this have to do with the future? Well, the future has its own form of gravity that pulls us to it faster and faster, it’s called technology, and we simply cannot project technology change at the same rate going forward as it has occurred in the past.
