And for 72% of organizations, scanning paper is still the most important part of their information capture strategy. The continued importance of simply getting rid of the paper is not just a function of laggard organizations; the struggle to get rid of paper is consistent across all levels of overall competence.

Capture and Imaging | Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
What exactly does it mean to have an “open platform”? The perception is that an open platform has no restrictions or limitations; an open platform is agnostic. Yet reality is that there could be some limitations or restrictions. For example, there are ECM solutions that are built upon a proprietary database and are still considered to be “open”. The reason being they support a specific set of open standards for interoperability and integration. While the concept is sound, and many businesses look to a day where interoperability and integration across the enterprise is achieved, AIIM research finds that only 8% of organizations have accomplished this.

Capture and Imaging | Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
For many years, “capture” was somewhat of an afterthought. ...It was something focused primarily on paper documents. ...It was something focused on archiving the document rather than on the extraction of data from the document. ...It was something you did at some point after information entered the organization. ...It was usually done in the context of one particular business process and needed to be customized to that process. There is now clearly a rising tide of information. On average, organizations expect the volume of information coming into their organizations to grow from X to 4.2X over the next two years. To make the problem even more complex, not only is the volume of information increasing geometrically, but also the speed at which it is coming into the organization, the variety of forms and file types this information takes, and the number of entry points.
