The only constant, the saying goes, is change. In your constant efforts to improve and grow your business, you will need to change business processes, continually upgrade your products, automate with technology -- and most importantly -- keep your employees and customers happy.

IT initiatives don't often fail because of the technology; but because of spotty user adoption or outright rejection.

This handy checklist will help you create an ECM project plan that keeps this critical fact top of mind.

Are there bottlenecks with how your organization captures, accesses, and manages content? Before you attempt to automate a process you should look for ways to improve it.

This whitepaper will explain how a properly executed information governance plan will decrease your exposure to risk while making you more effective. Information is created and accumulates at eye-popping speed. But not all of this information is created equal. Proper information governance includes getting rid of information that no longer has any value to the organization.

We are heavily into the information age. Information is a competitive advantage - to some organizations it's even a form of currency. It's an old mantra, but a true one: you need to provide the right information to the right person at the right time (regardless of where the information "lives" or what device is used to access it).

Setting up records management in SharePoint is certainly no task for the timid. Instead of asking whether SharePoint 2013 can manage your records, the better question for many organizations will be which approach to use: the SharePoint Records Center or in-place records management. In this whitepaper, we'll look at both and provide a framework to determine which is right for your organization.

Making an ECM implementation work requires planning and attention to detail. While this may look like any other technology implementation, it is not. ECM is a complex set of technologies that work together. The best  way to create the right solution is to identify organizational goals and priorities. Common drivers include enabling easy access and retrieval of content, as well as, reducing risk and meeting regulatory requirements.
