AIIM18 keynote with @jmancini77: it’s all about digital transformation
I haven’t been to the AIIM conference since the early to mid 90s; I stopped when I started to focus more on process than content (and it was very content-centric then), then stayed away when the conference was sold off, then started looking at it again when it reinvented itself a few years ago. These […]
Insurance technology: is this very conservative industry finally ready for its close-up?
I’ve worked with insurance clients for a long time, first helping them with automation in their underwriting, policy administration and claims processes, and now helping them with digital transformation to create new business models and platforms. One thing that has always struck me is how behind the time most insurance companies are: usually old companies […]
Integrating process and content: exploring the use cases
I recently wrote a series of short articles sponsored by Alfresco and published on their blog. Today, the third of the series was published, discussing some use cases for integrating content into your processes: Document-driven processes Case management Document lifecycle processes Support documentation for exceptions in data-driven processes Classification and analysis processes for non-document content […]
Vega Unity 7: productizing ECM/BPM systems integration for better user experience and legacy modernization
I recently had the chance to catch up with some of my former FileNet colleagues, David Lewis and Brian Gour, who are now at Vega Solutions and walked me through their Unity 7 product release. Having founded and run a boutique ECM and BPM services firm in the past, I have a soft spot for […]

We had a brief analyst Q&A yesterday at OpenText Enterprise World 2017 with Mark Barrenechea (CEO/CTO), Muhi Majzoub (EVP of engineering) and Adam Howatson (CMO), and today we heard more from Majzoub in the morning keynote.

Cloud ECM with @l_elwood @OpenText at AIIM Toronto Chapter
Lynn Elwood, VP of Cloud and Services Solutions at OpenText, presented on managing information in a cloud world at the AIIM chapter meeting in Toronto. This is of particular interest to Canadians, since most of the cloud service offerings that we see are in the US, and many companies are not comfortable with keeping their private […]
AIIM Toronto seminar: @jasonbero on Microsoft’s ECM
I’ve recently rejoined AIIM — I was a member years ago when I did a lot of document capture and workflow implementation projects, but drifted away as I became more focused on process — and decided to check out this month’s breakfast seminar hosted by the AIIM Toronto chapter. Today’s presenter was Jason Bero from Microsoft Canada, who is […]
Managing Business Content
The term “Digital Transformation” means a lot of different things to businesses today. It has to do with technology and the use of technology, sure, but it is also about new ways of operating, new strategies and new ways of creating innovation. The foundation to the digital transformation is the Internet and one of the […]
Join the AIIM paper-free pledge
AIIM recently posted about the World Paper-Free Day on November 6th, and although I’m not sure that it’s recognized as a national holiday or anything, it’s certainly a good idea. I blogged almost three years ago about my mostly paperless office, and how to achieve such a thing yourself. Since that time, I’ve added an […]
IBM ECM and Cloud
I’m at the IBM Content 2015 road show mini-conference in Toronto today, and sat in on a session with Mike Winter (who I know from my long-ago days at FileNet prior to its acquisition by IBM) discussing ECM in the cloud. The content at the conference so far has been really lightweight: I think that […]
