the global Enterprise
Content Management Association
AIIM represents the Information
Management community as the global association for both users and suppliers
of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions – the strategies,
services and technologies which enable organisations to capture, manage,
store, preserve and deliver information to support business processes.
Organisations, both public and private, are operating in an era where they are
called upon to be no longer simply ICT enabled, but "information management
compliant". The emphasis in these times is about being able to handle the
proliferation of information born as a result of the increasing number of channels
and speed by which individuals and businesses are able to communicate with each
other. This is key to successful performance. To stay in control, organisations
must be able to manage information; and do so in a way which conforms with regulations
and legal obligations, minimises cost, time and risk, and maximises efficiency,
productivity and business continuity. This isn't easy. Which is why AIIM exists.
Our key objectives are to provide:
Executive Networking
Market Education
Industry Advocacy
Professional Development
We're here to ensure that users and suppliers have opportunities to become better
connected and have broad access to the knowledge, skills, advice and support
necessary to tackle the evolving challenges of Information Management successfully.
