A recent AIIM survey indicated that 28% of organizations would take more than a month to produce all of the organizational information related to a former customer or constituent, and that 18% had been exposed to a legal challenge in the last 12 months. The survey also found that while a third of organizations plan to migrate to a single content and records management system, a further third plan to link up existing repositories via a single-sign on portal.
In its next survey, entitled "Electronic Records Management (ERM) -- how confident are we about discovery and long-term compliance?" AIIM plans to explore more fully what the levels of risk perception are, what policies and plans are in place and how well existing solutions are working.
With its 65,000 strong community of information management users, AIIM has a sound track record of establishing the "wisdom of the crowd" as regards current business opinion on managing records, reducing risk and driving more efficient processes.
Issues to be measured in the 2009 ERM Survey include:
- Business drivers - risk and legal discovery
- Policies and intentions
- Scope of existing and planned Records Management projects
- Is the paper records mountain still growing?
- User acceptance and automatic classification
- Manage-in-place versus Enterprise Search
- Storing records in the Cloud
- Long-term formats and media longevity
The Records Management survey will be run in mid August, with first results published at the beginning of September. The final report will be available as a free download from the AIIM website, www.aiim.org.
