Apologies for any cross-postings

AIIM First Canadian Chapter is excited to welcome Chris Wynder, Director of Client Services for ThinkDox and veteran information management strategist, to talk about the benefits of managing information as a service or IMaaS rather than as a fixed resource.

The goal of this talk is to provide a practical set of guidelines for information professionals and IT managers to move from the current information management practices to a new service-based paradigm that will allow organizations to deal with the changing reality of information management.

Put simply, organizations can no longer view information as a fixed resource to be managed based on the file type or data location. Organizations that are successful at managing their information focus their efforts how information is used rather than where it is stored. Information in today’s organizationsis dynamic, complex and often stored across several physical locations. The road from today’s practices to IMaaS requires process engineering, information governance and IT planning. Using a mix of techniques from marketing and supply chain management this talk will provide a primer on how to ensure that information is accessible to the right people at the right time.

Chris’ presentation will be followed by a short presentation by ThinkDox<http://www.thinkdox.com/>, our session sponsor.
