ECM Briefs

For over 60 years, AIIM - The Enterprise Content Management Association has been a neutral and unbiased source for helping individuals and organizations understand the challenges associated with managing documents, content, records, and business processes. AIIM is international in scope, and, as the representative of the entire ECM industry - including users, suppliers, and the channel - acts as the industry's intermediary. The association provides professionals from all industries and government and all levels of management, with market education, peer networking, professional development, and industry advocacy.

Open Text is very pleased to now have a presence on the AIIM Standards Committee. The volunteer members of the twenty-plus committees and working groups each collaborate, research, and bring best practices to the table. These working groups meet regularly to discuss changes in the industry that affect their Standards; regularly review each accredited Standards for relevance and currency; and form new groups to discuss and draft Standards related to the latest technology practices.

In addition to enhancing our presence on key committees, we are encouraging our staff, partners and customers to get involved with their AIIM local chapters and take advantage of the educational content and professional networking opportunities these groups provide. Open Text customers who are AIIM members today are invited to visit OTO, where we are planning an enhanced AIIM forum to encourage sharing of information, events and activities related to their membership.
