This short paper explores how public sector based IT is being forced to evolve from managing highly secure, centralized, in-house silos of information to the need to work with in a distributed, collaborative, mobile device enabled environment. It explains the regulatory aspects of public sector data management, including business impact levels (IL), aligns possible solutions with the G-Cloud initiative, and makes practical suggestions for a route forward that enables the use of a combination of cloud and on-premise content, collectively known as Hybrid ECM.

This short paper takes a case-narrative approach to implementing a distributed mobile capture platform within a financial organization. It outlines the differences between an in-house development and a productized mobile platform, particularly in the areas of security, integration and end-to-end custody, and concludes with the process and service benefits of capturing content closer to the customer.

Many of the most useful aspects of document management systems become even more useful when you use a cloud solution - particularly for small and mid-sized businesses. You may well ask, “If we don’t use on-premise document management now, why on earth would we use it in the cloud?” 

In this paper we ask you to set aside concerns about security and availability and ask yourself, "How useful would it be to share documents and reports with project teams, customers, agencies, accountants, and lawyers, quickly, safely and easily, and to have them available anywhere, from any device, at any time?"

There is a frenzy around big data today. But beneath the froth and the hype is this underlying and undeniable fact: big data will change the world. Companies – you – need to start looking beyond the hype and the technology to learn how you unlock your big data and put it to work for you.

AIIM’s work with the Executive Leadership Council is where you start. Key findings in this report include: considering the BUSINESS side of the big data equation; teaming data scientists with information professionals; embracing a new way of working; and striking the right balance between analysis and action for businesses.

 It's time to unlock your data and put it to use.

The role of information security within business has never been so important – and the consequences of failure have never been more costly or more subject to public scrutiny. Understanding the threats posed to your information assets and the mechanisms for fighting these threats is essential, as is benchmarking against how other organizations are securing and governing their data.

This free report from AIIM provides detailed industry-based research results for information professionals needing to secure and manage their information assets.  We detail the types of risk and how they are being controlled, and the consequences of information security failures. We also include a series of practical recommendations and advice on how to secure the information assets within your business.

The time-sapping requirement to halt processes and print off documents goes on, and the physical difficulties of putting those documents in front of signers who are remote, travelling or in other organizations continues to take up time and add costs for printing, postage, couriers, etc.

In this free report we look at the drivers for electronic signing, the general understanding of the different technologies, the issues that might be preventing adoption, and the ROI that is being achieved by users. We also track changes from our previous survey in 2010.

Organizations that manage and maintain manufacturing machinery, process plant, rigs, transport systems, distribution networks, data centres and complex buildings are subject to high degrees of compliance and safety regulation. Fast and widespread access to all asset or plant-related content is paramount to meeting repair targets measured in hours not days.

In this free report we explore how plant and asset-related documents are being managed at present, what problems arise around information access, and how useful it would be to have a genuinely enterprise-wide content management system working alongside the ERP and EAM systems.

Based on a worldwide survey of nearly 800 professionals from IT, information management and business, this whitepaper charts current skill sets, and those in most demand in this new era of cloud, mobile, social and big data. We look at how to build your value to the business and at how qualifications and certifications can help – along with a review of current salaries.  We also look at how the role of “information professional” seems to chime with both recruiters and practitioners, indicating a combination of business experience with a broad base of general IT skills.

As you look to develop your career, this report gives great insight into the best moves to make, as well as the steps your colleagues and peers are likely to be taking.

AIIM research looks at how less paper in the workplace delivers significant benefits. Key findings show eliminating paper from processes can improve the responsiveness of customer service by 300 percent. Removing paper from business processes and moving content to PCs and tablets has the added advantage of helping companies adopt mobile-enable processes and eliminate elapsed time, lost forms, poor data and re-keying.

To effectively mobile-enable processes and reduce reliance on paper, data should be captured as close to the point of origination as possible, which makes information easily available to whomever needs it, wherever they are, in the shortest time possible. This handbook summarizes the value of automating manual, paper-based processes. It then goes a step beyond to provide actionable steps that will set you on the path to productivity, profitability, and, yes, less paper.
