James K. Watson, Jr., PhD is CEO and Founder of Doculabs. James founded Doculabs on three simple principles: objective recommendations, analysis grounded by benchmark data, and a specialization in content-based applications. Doculabs is a premier consultancy in the enterprise content management (ECM) and business process management (BPM) markets. When the snow flies, Watson can be found skiing the powder on the slopes in Colorado. The rest of the time, he serves as executive sponsor or lead consultant on numerous Doculabs consulting engagements. He brings expertise to architecting enterprise strategies for customer communications, compliance, and workplace collaboration. He also created the industry’s only peer-group benchmarking service that examines the metrics associated with deploying and managing ECM systems on an enterprise level. Catch up with Watson on the lift at Telluride, and he’ll tell you about Doculabs’ exciting new consulting services in e-discovery. Most recently, Watson has helped create a series of financial impact analysis models to calculate the ROI of ECM. By the time you reach the summit, Watson can make you a convincing business case for ECM – whether for content archival, e-discovery, case management, or other ECM applications. Prior to forming Doculabs in 1993, Watson held positions within the printing systems group at Xerox Corporation and the mainframe division of NCR Corporation. Watson has served on the boards of AIIM and was chair of the Emerging Technology Advisory Group.
