Cloud | Compliance | Privacy
Data Protection laws and regulations across the EU govern the storage and processing of data that would allow an individual to be recognized. They are intended to address the risks around privacy and data loss and to provide a framework for good information governance. The development of public, private, government, and hybrid cloud computing services has created a challenge to on-premise data storage and processing, and thus created uncertainty regarding responsibilities of the respective organizations regarding data protection and data privacy. The European Union is soon to implement the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will bring all 27 countries under a single regime of rules, and penalties for breach. AIIM regards this as an opportunity for cloud providers to deliver EU-wide services under a single operations model. However, providers and users need to be aware of the current legislative challenges. The purpose of a new AIIM white paper -- Making sense of European Data Protection Regulations as they relate to the storage and management of content in the Cloud – is to inform end-users of the current and potential future legislative landscape in Europe regarding data protection and data privacy. This will enable end-user organizations to make risk-based decisions about cloud versus on-premise content storage. This will also allow them to evaluate providers of cloud services to ensure that they will stay compliant with applicable law.

Enterprise File Sync and Share (EFSS)
With or without approval from IT or their managers, employees will find and use tools that make their jobs and lives easier. For example, workforce demand has mainstreamed the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) movement as well as the pervasive use of file-sharing platforms like Dropbox. More and more employees are flocking to free file-sharing platforms because they provide anytime, anywhere access to the information they need to do their jobs.

Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
In 25 years in a strange career at the intersection between technology and legislation, compliance, and regulation, I have seen many curious things. Most of these curious things center around the lag time associated with radical technological innovation and the often well-intended but misguided responses of policymakers to the implications of that innovation. In most instances, the Law of Unintended Consequences rears its ugly head.

It is with great sadness that I inform the AIIM Community of the passing of our friend and colleague, Carl Weise, after a brave battle with esophageal cancer. Carl was an industry advisor/trainer with AIIM for over 8 years. He leaves behind a rich legacy of hundreds of students who benefitted from his sage advice, counsel, and experience. He was a great friend to many of us and a terrific father and husband.

These 23 “things you need to know” are drawn from a survey of 464 information professionals conducted earlier this year. Survey respondents represent organizations of all sizes. Larger organizations over 5,000 employees represent 36%, with mid-sized organizations of 500 to 5,000 employees at 29%. Small-to-mid sized organizations with 10 to 500 employees constitute 35%. 73% of the participants were from North America, and 17% from Europe. [Note: My bad on the original post with 27 instead of 23 things; clearly, I was not cut out to be an accountant.]
