AIIM Essentials: Now Available Online

Over the past several years, we have heard loud and clear the call for educational and training programs that focus on specific practices within our Association community. As a result, we created a set of internationally recognized programs that are rapidly becoming the required foundation for the employees of many organizations and suppliers looking to provide solutions and services into the public and private sector. In our continuing effort to bring you high quality training programs, we have expanded our programs to include a series of programs that are more tightly focused on very specific subject areas. We call this series, AIIM Essentials.

eDiscovery: How do you manage it?

eDiscovery has rapidly become a focal point in may an organization, whether it is related to pending civil actions or preparedness. (Hopefully it is in the context of preparedness.) Most of these discussions focus on technology when in fact they should include policy and practice as well,

On February 5, 2009 I am the guest Moderator of an exciting webinar titled Records Management and eDiscovery for Legal, Compliance and Information Management Professionals where I will be joined by:

• Bruce Radke, Shareholder and Chair of Records Management and eDiscoveryPractice for Vedder Price P.C.
• Sean Dillon, Technical Solutions Specialist for Microsoft
• Art Bellis, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at OmniRIM Solutions

This webinar will provide insight into how well defined records management policies and practices coupled with the proper technology tools can help organizations comply with evolving eDiscovery requirements and avoid sanctions.

Have you met MIKE2.0?

Perhaps one of the fastest growing occurrences in the industry today is the acceptance and use of MIKE2.0 (Method for an Integrated Knowledge Environment), the open source delivery methodology for Enterprise Information Management.

The MIKE2.0 methodology was originally focused on structured data but can be applied across many projects within an enterprise information environment that include:

·         Information Governance

·         Integration

·         Migration

·         Data warehousing

·         Enterprise Search

·         Enterprise 2.0

·         Business Intelligence

·         Enterprise Content Management

One of the reasons to use a methodology is to establish a framework that delivers repeatable and consistent results. MIKE2.0 appears to do this in such a way that it fosters open collaboration encouraging user involvement which is key and critical to the success of a project, yet this is one element that is often overlooked and many times the cause of project failure due to lack of user acceptance.

Establishing and nurturing environments open to innovation and emergence of ideas to better the information management efforts of an organization is an element of change that cultivates success and strengthens the organization for the future. It is my belief that we will see much more of MIKE2.0 in the near future, as this is one methodology that strikes me as being truly open and forward looking to drive and support innovative idea generation from among the rank and file where the highest levels of business process and activity knowledge resides.

Leveraging expertise and seeking expert advice from the source is rarely a bad thing and should be embraced. It seems to me that MIKE2.0 provides this and more.

What are your thoughts?
