The AIIM Road Show

Today is the last day of a 6 city road show that covered the Western US. Starting in Houston and Dallas and moving on to San Francisco and Bellevue and wrapping up this week in Denver and Anaheim.

What I Liked Best

Meeting with customers and partners that are genuinely interested in using technology to help address their business and technical challenges.

On a Personal Note:

One of my favorite parts of this road show series was getting to speak in my two home towns. I live in Seattle now and getting to stay at home and see the family is always a plus

Today is get to speak just a few miles from where I grew up. Today the event is in Anaheim --- just across Katella from Disneyland. It’s amazing how much this area has changed since I was a kid.

The Theme the Event

The theme of the event was helping companies manage the content that pervades every business. One of the biggest challenges that faces every company is the ever present rise in the amount of paper invading their business. Paper is an Asset --- Companies that manage it wisely do better than those that don’t. The vendors that presented at the event spoke about paper management, cloud computing, and social technologies. AIIM as an organization is helping companies to manage their Content Chaos and to put that content to work to yield Digital Dividends.

From Content Chaos to Digital Dividends
The 4 Keys to Your Information Transformation

Automation	Minimizing paper and manual processes in core backend activities (finance, HR, sales, marketing)
Collaboration	Moving beyond email and shared drives to tools and techniques that foster innovation and knowledge share
Communication	Using social technologies to better find and engage customers
Mitigation	Managing information assets against risk and legal costs in this era of social business
