Research shows that we will have close to 10x more information in 2011 compared to 2006, which means that organizations with paper based processes and archiving will drown in paper.  AIIM’s toolkit allows you to build a business case for more efficient, cost saving, paperless practices.  Learn the best practices for going paperless, discover how much people have saved in their conversions, and calculate how much you can save.

This toolkit collection features Pam Doyle's, past AIIM Board Director and Director of Imaging Products Group at Fujitsu report, "Document Imaging Trend Report - Distributed Capture."

To help illustrate her argument, Ms. Doyle includes a case study to address the benefits and return on investment.

The feature article is followed by additional material to help one define best capture processes for their organization:

• Several expert blogs written by AIIM professionals

Organizations have begun to move from experimenting with social technologies to incorporating them into key business processes. Doing so effectively requires more than just setting up accounts on commercial services like Facebook or Twitter or simply buying and implementing enterprise social technologies.  Instead, organizations must transition from forcing these technologies to their 1.0 business processes and embrace a more collaborative, more open, and more flexible way of working. In other words, they must embrace social business practices.

AIIM’s  toolkit gathers its research and tools on Social Business in one place to help you start building your own social business plan. Jesse Wilkins, Director, Systems of Engagement for AIIM, has written the feature article giving background on this new movement, its benefits, and the question of records management in a 2.0 environment.
