As you already know, people are more likely to follow your rules after they buy in to the reasons behind them.

Content Services | Enterprise Content Management (ECM) | Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
In recent years, nothing has sparked more controversy in the information management industry than the 2017 Gartner post officially retiring the term “Enterprise Content Management (ECM)” in favor of a new term, content services. Here at AIIM, we’ve been providing independent research, educational training, and certification for over 70 years.
