Yesterday was Data Privacy Day. It is hard to say when tipping points occur, but the combination of the NSA revelations and the sophistication of the recent Target thefts have me thinking a lot more about this issue than I did as recently as 12 months ago.

Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
Information (documents, emails, videos, podcasts, voicemails, texts, tweets, Facebook posts, LinkedIn conversations, customer analytics, etc.) surrounds us. We rely on this information for entertainment and to do our jobs. Access by employees to information and manipulation by companies of their customer information to serve customer needs is THE competitive advantage today. Better information equals better results. The problem? That information is everywhere and not always managed effectively. By managed we mean channeled towards some business outcome. We use the phrase “Information Chaos” to describe this ongoing and accelerating state of massive information disruption. Take back control and tame your Information Chaos with this round-up of the best free content on Intelligent Information Management. Enjoy! 1.

The emerging picture for big data analytics suggests that there is still a very high expectation for the potential value, and overall, early adopters are achieving good results that are helping to drive decision making in the business. But despite the fact that more trained practitioners have joined the ranks, there is still a skills shortage. Plus, the tools available are still considered hard to use and somewhat expensive. The overarching theme is that many organizations are too immature in their content management, search, and basic reporting to contemplate big content projects just yet, although they are making technology decisions today with a view to a big data future. AIIM's research study, "Big Data and Content Analytics -- Measuring the ROI," sought to find out more. Below, see the five key trends from the research project.

Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
As many of you know, well-known futurist Thornton May (and a former AIIM Board Chair) is one of the keynote speakers at The AIIM Conference 2014 (April 1-4, in Orlando). Thornton is one of those keynote speakers you won’t forget – suffice it to say, he is not a shy person! I usually start my research for introductions at Conferences not by looking at all the boring CV/Resume data points about schools and jobs, but rather by looking at things a speaker has actually said and whether these things jar my conventional assumptions. With Thornton, there is no shortage of great quotes.
