Electronic Records Management (ERM)
Records management has traditionally been significantly focused on compliance. Compliance is important; to be sure; the more highly regulated an organization is, the more important compliance is.

What is Capture? Despite technology, most companies continue to struggle to manage the burden of paper in many important business processes. And while there are many technological approaches to digital transformation, the first step is often scanning. Also known as “capture,” this capability is characterized by the ability to scan paper documents to store and use them in digital form instead of paper. First developed over 30 years ago, capture systems have evolved from simple solutions for basic scanning into sophisticated and expensive systems for enterprise-wide document automation. Therefore, it's important to understand and leverage scanning as a fundamental tool for business today.

It’s easy to overlook email as ‘old school,’ but the fact is that we still use email extensively, especially in business. Radicati released updated figures early in 2019 that shows the total number of active email users has jumped to 3.9 billion. More than that, American workers will receive an average of 126 emails a day. And while most folks think of email mostly as transactional messaging, the marketing power of email is still going strong. A study by The Manifest found that 43% of businesses are expected to spend more money on email marketing in 2019. So for those of us in the information management business, the question becomes: how do you overcome the challenge of capturing, archiving, managing and making the most of our old friend email. Here is some advice and best practices from our CIP study guide that can make a difference.
