All:
I wanted to make a comment on behalf of ARMA International regarding the
discussions around the AIIM/ARMA announcement.
ARMA International is not at liberty due to an addition to the NDA
release by AIIM to discuss the decision making process relating to the
announcement in public forums such as the listserv or blogs. ARMA
members can access a copy of the announcement on the My ARMA page of the
ARMA website. This announcement also includes talking points about the
decision made by the ARMA International Board of Directors.
In addition, ARMA members can contact any of the ARMA International
Board of Directors for additional information on the decision.
Thanks for your understanding,
Susan

I agree with Jesse on this one. I have attended the last 5 or so
conferences and have found many sessions on ECM or EDRMS or whatever you
want to call it, but I believe most record systems are still in the
paper
realm . I spoke on implementing an EDRMS at the Canadian conference
last
May. The comments I received are that many are wanting to go down this
road but are lacking the fundamentals or understanding to do so.
Combining
the strong records approach that ARMA has fostered, together with the
electronic approach which AIIM highlights, seems like a good idea. It's
too bad, the two can't come together somehow.
Last week I completed the masters course being offered through AIIM and
it
was excellent. AIIM has endeavoured to meld the ITworld together with
the
records world and have done a good job through this presentation. I
still
have to write an exam as well as a case study in order to receive
certification. I would highly recommend this course to all who are
contemplating an EDRMS or are in the throws of it.

[RM] Two takes on the AIIM/ARMA announcement yesterday

<snip>
But, what I have observed over the last several years is that ARMA has
not
embraced the advances in ECM and RIM technologies and continues to
approach
records management from a more traditional paper based approach.
AIIM, on the other hand, has been very progressive in establishing their
<http://www.aiim.org/education/erm2.asp> Electronic Records Management
Certificate Program. Also, at the last several AIIM conferences records
management has been front and center both as an important topic and
focus
of
training programs.
My recommendation, ARMA and AIIM should take the first step and join
forces
to consolidate the annual conferences. Many attendees have to choose
between
one or the other and this way they get the best of both
conferences.</snip>

Two key points Alan makes:
1. ARMA is clearly member led - and a visit to one of their conferences
makes this clear, AIIM (whether for the good or bad) is much more driven
by
Vendors. Neither fully understands the others world, and worryingly
technology buyers and decision makers don't make much of a
distinction...as
a result we are seeing lots of innapropriate solutions being deployed,
and
the failure rate for ECM and Document related systems remains very high.
2. Would love to see more collaboration of training and information in
this
space - particularly for SI's and IT staff more familiar with structured
data...Between TAWPI, AIIM, XPLOR and ARMA there is so much potential
synergy...shame more can't be done collaboratively as this space is
seeing
such interest and expansion.
