Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
A few months ago, we released Information Chaos vs. Information Opportunity: The Business Challenge of the Next Decade. Thousands of downloads later, the core thesis of the e-book -- we are at a fundamental inflection point being driven the accumulated impact of two decades of exponential improvements in technology – is being reaffirmed in a number of quarters.

I have been out of the country for about a week, so forgive my tardiness in commenting on the IRS e-mail story that has been percolating in the US press for the past week Most of the press stories I’ve seen while on a belated 30th anniversary trip to Sorrento (we’re on the verge of our 34th anniversary, so I guess it’s about time) have centered around the poor performance of the British and the Italians and the Portuguese in the World Cup. At the end of the personal trip, I attended an AIIM Executive Leadership Council meeting, but more on that in a minute.

Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
One of the things I've been working on with our PR people is greater visibility for content and records management concerns in the business press. I thought readers might be interested in some of the articles we've written in the past few months about ECM and InfoChaos. As you can see, our industry analyst Doug Miles is increasingly becoming a rock star in the press.

Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
As I approach my 18th anniversary at AIIM -- Yikes! -- I find myself in a bit of an introspective mood about our collective effectiveness. Specifically, "Why is this content management thing so difficult?" On the one hand, there is a lot of both quantitative and anecdotal evidence of the transformative impact of content technologies. Almost universally, end-user organizations that I ask, "Would you go back to the way you did things before?" respond with a definite "No way." On the other hand, studies conducted by Doculabs and others paint a somewhat checkered history for an uncomfortably high percentage of projects – projects that either went over budget, or over time, or that achieved adoption rates that were dismally lower than the initial projections. So how can we improve this?
