Continuing to Extend the Paper-Centric Records Paradigm Is like Having a Blacksmith Work on Your Lexus

By: John Mancini February 8th, 2011

Continuing to extend what we did with paper into the world of electronic information is like having a blacksmith work on your Lexus. At some point, we're all going to need to think through the implications of what we're doing right now. Like in Family Man, a favorite movie of mine, we get "glimpses" into something different, but we can't quite get our arms around it.

Facebook Vetting of Potential Employees – Not without Some Risks to the Employer

By: John Mancini January 25th, 2011

I had an interesting conversation with Michelle Sherman yesterday after publishing my post on Poking the Soft Underbelly of Social Media.

Poking at the Soft Underbelly of Social Media

By: John Mancini January 23rd, 2011

Now in the spirit of true confession, let me admit that I am a social media zealot. I was an early member of Facebook (according to my daughter, perilously close to the creepy edge before it was mainstream). I've been blogging for years on the AIIM Blog. Ditto Twitter, pretty early on. Together with Atle Skjekkeland, I launched an early content management social network (InformationZen) on a Ning platform over a weekend after our IT people told us it would be at least six months before they could get to it. Inside of AIIM, we were playing around with Yammer before IT even knew what was going on. My list of sins in the name of small business expediency is not insignificant.

A History of Enterprise IT in One Slide

I just got back from keynoting a very stimulating Kofax conference in Barcelona. 500+ people and an awful lot of energy in the room. Plus it didn't hurt that the event was in Barcelona, which is just a terrific city. One of the slides I used seemed to attract a fair amount of attention, so I include it here. I call it my "history of Enterprise IT in one slide" slide so I thought I would share it with my blog readers.
