In “The State of Intelligent Information Management: Getting Ahead of the Digital Transformation Curve,” AIIM made the case that every organization is on – or should be on! – a Digital Transformation journey. The heart of this Transformation journey is understanding, anticipating, and redefining internal and external customer experiences. AIIM believes that Digital Transformation effectiveness is imperiled by a rising tide of information chaos and confusion and that rising tide of information chaos and confusion is creating a demand for new information management practices that extend beyond traditional Enterprise Content Management.

Enterprise World Recap – the Intelligent and Connected Enterprise

I recently spoke at the OpenText Enterprise World (#OTEW) Conference in Toronto. Savvy travelers can probably tell from the photo on the left that I flew into Billy Bishop Airport, which in itself is an enjoyable and unique experience.
