ERM

E-papier, sera-t-il chinois ?

Si la normalisation de la production du papier est codifiée vers 105 après J.C. dans les Annales du Céleste Empire par le ministre de l'Agriculture, Tsaï Lun, son utilisation est attestée depuis la formation de l'Empire Han au IIème siècle avant J.C. Tsaï Lun introduisit peut-être un nouveau procédé, le papier de linge, préconisant en plus du traditionnel chanvre, l'usage du lin, de fibres de bambou et de l'écorce de mûrier. L'art de la fabrication du papier restera chinois et japonais jusqu'au VIIème siècle, où il passe chez les arabes qui petit à petit le diffuseront en Occident.

10 Key Issues with Sharepoint

Even Sharepoint needs an information Architecture

Recently, we were asked whether a design process for information architecture is required for a Sharepoint implementation. After all, Sharepoint is "ready", right? This question reveals the gap in understanding of enterprise content management (ECM), or perhaps, the degree to which an easy way out is preferred over conscious planning. This isn't a Microsoft Sharepoint problem.

AIIM Explains Electronic Records Management

The Association for Imaging and Information Management (AIIM) is a valuable source of information on a variety of issues, challenges and opportunities related to the management of information. With a focus that is usually firmly rooted in digital content management, it is great to see that the article, "What is ERM?", draws on the important international standard, ISO 15489.

Tweets Are Discoverable

Are you a networker who is a Twitter fan? Do you find it snappy and informative, cute or irritating?

It's not a yes or no equation as suggested in this YouTube selection. It's how you manage the challenge with a social networking strategy. Don't be twitterpated!

The zeal with which social networking applications (from Twitter to Facebook and beyond) are taken up by business can have surprising consequences. Even some law firms have jumped on the bandwagon, using Twitter to share knowledge with clients and prospects. But, advantages in one context may translate into risk for another. The greatest risk in social networking applications may come from not knowing if or by whom they are being used--or why.

New Zealand Grapples with Reality

In some jurisdictions, cultural norms maintain the separation of public (workplace) and private worlds. However, the degree of separation may be a factor of generational preference and technology. New Zealand's approach can add value across regions--but is it enough?

ISO 38500:2008 IT Governance

The International Organization for Standards has produced a guideline for governance of information technology. It is a framework of principles for decision flows on: Responsibility, Strategy, Acquisition, Performance, Conformance, and Human Behavior that draws, as so many do, from the Australian Standards, in this case, AS 8015. (Where would IM be without Canada in the 80s-90s and Australia in the 90s-20s?)

As with any standard, the effort to interpret and achieve compliance must fit within the overall governance and operational context.

When technologies become relics, what happens to the data?

Experts worry that items preserved in digital form may not be readily accessible in the future because the equipment and software needed to read them will become obsolete. Recent scandals in the USA provoke this New York Time article on accountability in government. But it's not just government that faces this challenge.

Familiar "massive failure" begs for RIM expertise

The unsecured details of 10,000 prolific offenders and data on all 84,000 prisoners in England and Wales are at issue in yet another example of failure to grasp that records management is fundamental. IT security is a must, but the scandals including the Andersen/Enron debacle, the recent Broadcom vs. Qualcomm and Hong Kong's own Hospital Authority breaches are more about governance, managerial competency building and the organisational culture's valuing of accurate, evidence-based practice.
