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 […]
The Case For Smarter Process At IBMImpact 2014
At analyst events, I tend to not blog every presentation; rather, I listen, absorb and take some time to reflect on the themes. Since I spent the first part of last week at the analyst event at IBM Impact, then the second half across the country at Appian World, I waited until I had to […]
Activiti Update 2013: New Functionality And New Partners
I had a briefing on the latest version of Alfresco’s Activiti BPM a couple of months back, but decided to wait until the news about their new partners – BP3 and Edorasware – was released before I posted. This strong showing of enterprise support partners is crucial for them following the defection of camunda from […]
Smart Process Apps with Kofax and Forrester
Kofax sponsored a webinar last week (replay here) featuring Andy Bartels of Forrester Research speaking about Smart Process Applications (SPA): a term introduced by Forrester to describe collaborative, process-based packaged applications for human-centric work. In their terms: “a new generation of applications to help make human-centric, collaborative business activities be more effective”, with the goal […]
Stick A (Open Source) Fork In It: camunda BPM Splits From Activiti
At the end of 2012, I had a few hints that things at Alfresco’s Activiti BPM group was undergoing some amount of transition: Tom Baeyens, the original architect and developer of Activiti (now CEO of the Effektif cloud BPM startup announced last week), was no longer leading the Activiti project and had decided to leave […]
IBMConnect (Lotusphere) 2013 Highlights: Product Updates, Smarter Workforce and Smarter Commerce
A couple of weeks ago, IBM had two analyst calls about the announcements this week at IBM Connect 2013; since I’m not at the conference, I wrote most of this at that time but only published today due to embargo restrictions. It’s the 20th anniversary of Lotusphere, although the conference is no longer branded as […]
