We’re Records Managers: Why ECM History? Records Management is a key component of ECM There have been a lot of RM support tools that have come and gone over the years The broader scope of Information Governance demands a look at a broader set of ECM tools beyond RM If you think we are at the end of “what’s new” in technology to support Info Gov – think again © 2017 e-Nterprise Advisors
© 2017 e-Nterprise Advisors Level Set - What is ECM? The technologies, tools, and methods used to capture, manage, store, preserve, and deliver “content” or “information” across an enterprise or organization At the most basic level, ECM tools and strategies allow the management of an organization’s unstructured information, wherever that information exists Unstructured information means letters, e-mails, reports, etc., as opposed to databases or accounting systems, which contain “structured” information Source: AIIM © 2017 e-Nterprise Advisors

Gartner is starting to call the market “Content Services” RM tools are very much alive, changing and developing Salesforce – applying for patent to the term “records management” Taser – preparing to zap their records with their own tool File, Sync and Share Market still needs to address RM Office 365 and Google Mail growth in business begs the need for e-mail archiving in the Cloud © 2017 e-Nterprise Advisors
© 2017 e-Nterprise Advisors What to Learn from This Your present tools will become a legacy in the future Prepare for change When is the last time ECM tools were updated in your organization? Don’t assume BIG companies don’t get acquired “Old” technologies don’t necessarily go away but may get used less or differently Examples: Imaging, Use of PDFs, Electronic Forms © 2017 e-Nterprise Advisors
Implications for Info Gov As Information Governance and Records Management practices continue to support more volumes and more varied types of information the technologies needed to manage those practices will need to evolve This continues to be a journey – not a destination © 2017 e-Nterprise Advisors
