Hi Gerry,

From AIIM, the Enterprise Content Management Association
(http://www.aiim.org/about-ecm.asp):
AIIM defines Enterprise Content Management (ECM) as the technologies used to
capture, manage, store, preserve, and deliver content and documents related
to organizational processes. ECM tools and strategies allow the management
of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information
exists.

The ECM industry provides information management solutions to help users:

    * guarantee business CONTINUITY, 24x7x365
    * enable employee, partner, and customer COLLABORATION
    * ensure legal and regulatory COMPLIANCE
    * reduce COSTS through process streamlining and standardization

I would be happy to share any additional information on AIIM and ECM either
onlist or off...

Cheers from Denver, where it's 90 and brilliantly clear outside,
