Oh, that joke is as old as you can imagine, and I have heard a lot of them. And I have heard “offices will be paper-free when (you fill in the blank)”. In fact, I was once one of those people and, to an extent, still am because it is still true.

Compliance | GDPR | Privacy
GDPR, the new EU data protection regulation, is just around the corner. The amount of personal data stored by companies and governments has ballooned, and the value of that data has multiplied as more and more personal business is transacted on the internet. Identity theft has become far more prevalent. In addition to the disruption to businesses and the impact on customer loyalty that data breaches create, many jurisdictions are looking to bring their data protection legislation in line with the new, internet-based world – although unfortunately, not into alignment with each other.

Content Migration | Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
Organizations have a decision to make relative to the large volume of documents in existing legacy systems. The challenge is that organizations may have millions of documents. Which should be moved and which should stay where they are? What can be safely archived or deleted? According to a Forrester survey, only 7% of organizations surveyed have migrated all content to new ECM systems. The vast majority – 87% – retain some or most legacy content remains in old systems. Updating your infrastructure to take advantage of the benefits of a more modern-cloud-based structure requires a content integration platform – and one that is flexible enough to evolve over time.

Organizations (and the suppliers who supported them) next applied ECM platforms to solving core back-office automation challenges – like accounts payable, invoice processing, contracts management, and HR administration. Over time, we began to think that ultimately, there would be a convergence in an organization around a single ECM platform.
