Are we so focused on input that we’ve overlooked the need to output information?

Prior to becoming involved with the content and information management industry, I spent several years in the high-volume printing industry. I was a mid-level executive for a large health insurance provider and was responsible for printing and mailing, pre-press and offset printing, and electronic book publishing across four states.

Imagine stacks of paper everywhere and truckloads of output being shipped and mailed nationwide.

4 Special Requirements Social Media and Collaboration Create for GDPR Compliance

A new set of European rules and standards related to privacy and data protection (the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR) has set in motion a mad compliance and security scramble not only for European companies, but also for any company doing business in Europe or with European customers. The regulation is designed to harmonize privacy across the EU, codify more rigorous privacy rights, strike a balance between privacy and security, and create an explicit obligation for both data controllers and processors to demonstrate compliance with GDPR.
