While traveling to and from the American Records Management Association (ARMA) annual conference in Nashville two weeks ago, I read an interesting and entertaining book. Written in 2015, Rejection Proof is about overcoming rejection in the business world.

In one sentence, Records Management in Place (RMIP) is traditionally described as Records Management systems that can connect to other Systems of Engagement, to keep your content compliantly managed as mandated, and close any risks or gaps in an integrated and seamless manner for end-users.

The ROT use case involved acquiring first-generation file analytics software to identify and eliminate duplicates, aged out content and non-relevant information from repositories across the enterprise. The benefit was the lower cost of operations and measurable hard dollar cost savings. Savings were calculated per gigabyte and reflected not only actual reduced storage capacity but the operational, compliance and process costs of managing content on-premises.

The challenge many of my clients face is the ever-accelerating growth of a demanding client base and requirements to change to align with that demand. But before making any decisions on what goes and stays, both from an information and platform perspective, you first need to understand what you have and where it is

The pandemic changed a lot of things; most notably how people worked alone AND together outside the office. Without an office to go to during lockdown meant that we learned how to recreate at home our work-based creature comforts – free coffee, office supplies and a cafeteria. Another office creature comfort for which we had to figure out workarounds during COVID centered on the file cabinet, desk drawer or remote warehouses to access physical records.

Having the ability to understand where data is being created, by who and for what purpose is a critical first step in being able to address privacy requirements.

There has been much written on how all of us have had to modify our working habits as a result Covid. The pandemic was an accelerant to change; but it was not the reason why employees began to embrace collaboration tools such as Teams to do their most important work.

A client said to me this week that a lot of their time in early 2020 was spent emptying the shelves of laptops in a well-known high street computer retailer to enable their staff to work from home. I shuddered at the challenges the business will have faced to ensure everyone was secure and compliant in such an outlier of a time. However, it seems like we’re all running towards the final hurdle now, although from the conversations I’m having with organisations there is a huge lean towards a hybrid workforce from now on, which will bring its own challenges around information explosion.

Rebate management is a business process that intersects every aspect of the pharmaceutical business, from manufacturer to provider to payer and, of course, consumers of pharmacology itself.

In the good old days of information governance, the management lines between active content for use and passive content for retention were clear. Today, we are seeing not just a blurring of the distinction between active and passive management of content; we are seeing an obliteration of the entire concept.

The requirement to operate digital systems is causing some real tension when moving through procurement processes, particularly for Public Sector, Financial Services and other regulated sectors…how does your App meet risk, compliance and governance responsibilities of the organisation?

How are organisations supporting staff to do their jobs and providing appropriate governance and systems underpinning the business? Even with an Enterprise Content Management system, staff store information in the wrong place, revert to C Drives and Shared Drives and have a huge amount of high-risk content trapped in email or scattered across business systems.

When looking at the top issues concerning Boards and Leadership teams this year, themes around Strategy for Competitive Advantage, Disruptive Technology, Cyber Threats, Brand and Culture – are all echoed from organisations like PWC, EY, Deloitte and McKinsey. These challenges all place a significant strain on the business to implement new plans; however, an audit or investigation and remediation is deeply unsettling, expensive and distracting to business teams while it lasts.
