Kudos to my friend Bob Zagami for bringing this to my attention from the editor of the RV Daily Report, Greg Gerber. RV Daily Report Changes Press Release Publishing Policy Organizations constantly struggle with the question of not only the volume of content and documents they are managing but amidst this chaos; they also wrestle with the question of "what is truth?" Or, in more practical terms, what is the "official" version, who has approved it, and how can we track the chain of custody and modifications throughout the life cycle of a document?

I thought I’d summarize some of the press I see about the iManage spinout from HP. If you come across other updates, feel free to enter them in the comments. I have to admit from the perspective of an association that relies on independent companies as members; I’m kind of glad to see the acquisition pendulum go in the other direction for a change. We don’t take official positions on these types of things, but it does seem to be a win/win for both HP and iManage.

Automation | Document Management
All organizations produce documents, some even hundreds or thousands a day. Information contained in these documents is often vital to business – from producing sales quotations, policy, and procedure documents to employment or legal contracts. While some content in these documents will change, other aspects, such as its structure and how it is formatted, may not. In other words, many documents contain repetitive content that changes little from one document to the next and variable content that must be accurately personalized. Document automation can streamline the creation of the simplest or most complex corporate document, but many companies are confused by how it works. Below are five myths organizations need to think about when considering how they handle document creation.

Capture and Imaging | Document Management | Enterprise Content Management (ECM) | Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
One of the things I talk about during my presentations is that while capture is a mature technology (i.e., it actually works as advertised), the capture market is still relatively immature. Specifically, while a relatively high percentage of user organizations are scanning to archive, relatively few are extracting data from images to doing indexing or metadata, even fewer are extracting data to drive processes, and still fewer have a true enterprise capture strategy.

Document Management | Paperless Office
Isn't it ironic that with advancing technology, we are quick to spend on 'cool' gadgets for personal use though they do not yield any financial return in most cases, but we are reluctant to invest in technology that is proven to yield a return in the short-to-medium term? This also holds true when it comes to moving a business to the paperless model. Let us look at five myths about paperless offices that prevent organizations from adopting electronic document management, and consequently miss out on the benefits that such technology brings.
