Accounting and Finance | Certified Information Professional (CIP)
When asked what the CIP means to me, I immediately smile. This accomplishment means a lot - both on a professional and personal level. You must be wondering - how did an accountant become a Certified Information Professional?

Certified Information Professional (CIP)
I have a confession to make: I was a CIP skeptic. That’s right; I often found myself questioning whether the body of knowledge CIP represents -- even in its redesigned form -- was truly relevant for today’s information stewards in leading the digital transformation charge. I wondered whether business strategists who comprise the fastest growing AIIM membership sector would find applicability therein? Or, was CIP simply a capstone on a lifelong career for those core (and fewer) content “specialists”?

Certified Information Professional (CIP)
I’m way too old for this! Seriously, do you know how long it’s been since I’ve taken a major exam?! Besides, I’m not a good test taker! These were just some of the excuses that were preventing me from taking the CIP exam. Well, apparently, I’m not too old, and I’m a better test taker than I expected. I recently took the CIP prep class at AIIM’s headquarters in Silver Spring, MD, took the exam, and I passed. Woo hoo!!!!

Over the past decade, there has been a “perfect storm” of change driven by consumerization, cloud, mobile, and the Internet of Things. It has changed how enterprise information and IT are viewed and changed the kinds of skills that are needed to adapt to these disruptions. The value-add for information technology in organizations is rapidly shifting from the technology per se to the stewardship, optimization, and application of the information assets themselves.

AIIM Conference | Certified Information Professional (CIP) | Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
Did any of us choose enterprise content management (ECM) as our career path when we joined the workforce? While there are degree programs in information studies, I think most of our paths were accidental. While we may have accidentally entered ECM, the decision to stay has been our own choice. Still, we often don’t look at ECM as our career, but at “computers” as our career. Yet I can hardly imagine a brain surgeon saying they were “just a doctor.” I know I don’t want to keep being asked if I can fix someone’s printer. I think it’s time we own our career.
