Keep your finger on the pulse of Intelligent Information Management with industry news, trends, and best practices.
AIIM recently collaborated with Cohasset Associates and ARMA in the eighth biennial survey on the evolution of Information Governance (over 1,300 participants). Over a series of blog posts, I'll cover the major highlights -- and the implications for organizations as they continue to address the tension between Information Opportunity and Information Chaos. Overall, the survey finds that Information Governance programs are more prevalent, better designed, and inclusive of digital information (usually referred to in legal circles as Electronically Stored Information, or ESI). However, many essential implementation elements are not being addressed. Defensible records and information management practices are founded on clear and consistent policies, retention rules, and training that result in systematic, repeatable, and measurable implementation outcomes. Modern Information Governance (IG) programs have adjusted their approach to address the realities of managing large volumes of electronically stored information (ESI).

The electronic records management (ERM) technology landscape continues to evolve as the deluge of records and information makes dealing with records in a "status quo" approach impossible -- if not downright dangerous. Yet, it is still important to distinguish between the hype cycle of new capabilities and the reality of what technologies are really ready for prime time. In this video, noted ERM Expert (and recent Jeopardy winner) Priscilla Emery walks through the opportunities and pitfalls in The ERM Technology and Market Landscape: Getting Past the Hype to Reality.

Electronic Records Management (ERM) | Information Governance
Defensible disposition addresses the problem of over-retention -- organizations have been over-retaining electronic information and failing to dispose of it in a legally defensible manner when business and law will allow. The best way to address this monster problem is to break it into more tractable sub-problems: day-forward information disposition and historical informational disposition. I won’t go into a day-forward information disposition here, because it is an easier problem to solve. Let’s stipulate that it’s taken care of and focus on historical information disposition.
