24、ise of Enterprise Content Management(ECM)with its electronic document capture,storage,and processing and many got there.More recently,those same organizations have been striving towards digital transformation to digitalize their businesses completely.COVID-induced market factors forced that shift so

25、oner than expected.Yet,as we all emerge from the pandemic,organizations face new challenges,such as data privacy,cybersecurity,hybrid workforces,labor shortages,and advances in artificial intelligence.This places us all at a practical and philosophical crossroads:Where should we focus resources to g

26、et the best out of technology,processes,and people?In this 2023 State of the Intelligent Information Management Industry report,we use user-generated intelligence to uncover the realities of post-pandemic information management and its impact on current industry and economic forces.For the first tim

27、e,our research has gone beyond the AIIM community to include responses from the wider business world.By combining the feedback from both the AIIM and non-AIIM audiences,we provide a clear picture of the information-driven direction that organizations are charting,the alignment(or lack of)across the

28、organization with business goals/values,and what this means for the future of our industry.AIIM itself started life as the National Microfilm Association(NMA)before later becoming the Association for Information and Image Management(AIIM),and more recently refocusing as the Association for Intellige

29、nt Information Management.Defining the LandscapeThe information management landscape is constantly changing,as are the terms used to describe it.For example,the discipline that started as archiving via microfilm has since transformed through terms such as document management,enterprise content manag

30、ement,and,more recently,content services platforms.To determine the current en vogue way of describing this area of practice,we asked our respondents which terms they use to describe their role and work.AIIM Industry Watch AIIM 2023 www.aiim.org 11pageRole DefinitionsInformation management comes out

31、 firmly at the top of the list(69%);however,slightly more legacy terms such as records management(62%)and document management(51%)follow closely behind.The distribution of terms used is not surprising,given the wide range of activities the information management community performs.However,what is st

32、rikingly obvious is that despite the best efforts of analysts and vendors,the term“content services”is still not resonating with the marketplace.Figure 1:Which terms do you use when describing your role and the work you do within your organization?(Select all that apply)N=41469%62%51%48%40%37%35%35%

37、rmly behind using“information”as the primary term of reference almost 47%use this term,with“data”(16%)and“content”(14%)well behind.But for the non-AIIM audience,drawn from a wider pool of general business respondents,“data”is the primary term used by 40%.“Information”ranks second for this audience a

43、ustryOver the past ten years,AIIM has periodically assessed the state of the information management industry taking the pulse of organizations from around the world,their goals,successes,and internal infrastructures.Critical benchmark data was created in 2013 and 2018,and now we add comparative data

44、 from 2023 to the mix.Below,we compare some key areas benchmarking across these periods.Information Management GoalsLooking back to the 2013 AIIM data,we find that the primary drivers for document and records management projects were:compliance and risk(38%),costs and productivity(38%),collaboration

45、(16%),and customer service(8%).Figure 5:AIIM Industry Watch 2013 Driver DataOverall10-500 emps500-5000 emps5000+empsCompliance and risk38%31%36%45%Cost and productivity38%42%36%38%Collaboration16%20%18%11%Customer service8%8%10%5%Ten years later,we see a similar set of drivers,including digital tran

46、sformation,of course,but the emphasis has shifted.Compliance now stands head and shoulders ahead of the other drivers at all three levels we surveyed organizational,departmental,and individual.Customer service,digital transformation,and collaboration all bunch together with slightly varying importan

47、ce at the three levels,but all show increased importance versus the 2013 data.However,focusing on costs and productivity as a goal is now significantly less.This is an interesting evolution.In the early days of document management and ECM,many vendors sold their systems based on reduced costs(e.g.,r

48、educed filing cabinets and document storage costs)and increased productivity to limited success.However,the emphasis now appears to be on more tangible business goals such as collaboration and customer service.Another explanation could be that due to COVID,organizations were forced to deliver digita

49、l transformation and remote working almost irrespective of the cost.The focus on compliance and risk in the wake of the pandemic-fuelled rush to enable remote working is natural organizations need to properly secure and govern the tools they are now using.And of course,the economy always influences

50、decisions.Anecdotally,we hear that many organizations invest in information management during tough economic times as potential compliance fines would be hard to bear in good financial environments,they are less painful.Additional reading from Iron Mountain:Today,digital transformation is not just a

71、ration with other SystemsOne of the leading arguments around enterprise content management(ECM)systems was that they could be a single place to store all the content(information and/or data)within an organization.As we have seen,this is not the reality.Organizations have more systems than ever befor

72、e,and this trend shows no sign of slowing down.Gartner recognized this when introducing the term content services platform(CSP)in late 2017.Despite the term not gaining widespread adoption,the concept of content systems needing to work in harmony with each other and other lines of business systems i

73、s incredibly valuable.Unfortunately,the concept and the reality are still some ways apart,with only around a quarter of organizations having defined connections between their DM/ECM/RM systems and other core lines of business(LOB)applications such as ERP,CRM,and collaboration systems.This lack of in

74、tegration poses numerous challenges in areas such as eDiscovery,privacy,information security,and overall governance and compliance.In addition,any scenario that requires a complete,single view of a customer,process,claim,application,or case is hindered by the need to connect to multiple systems runn

75、ing the risk of data integrity issues such as duplication and inconsistent data updates.As a result,system integration and alignment is an area that requires significant strategic and technical focus in the coming years to avoid downstream issues.Figure 11:Which other applications do you use to stor

79、ussed above,the proliferation of specific tools to manage these areas has increased the number of information systems deployed within many organizations.One area that offers significant potential to address this silo-effect is enterprise search,with its ability to work seamlessly across multiple too

80、ls.The fact that only just over 50%of organizations currently exploit this readily available technology is puzzling and either suggests:n an opportunity for further digital transformation,n or perhaps that enterprise search is already deployed so seamlessly into users infrastructure that they are no

91、 migration rank above average for the majority,yet cloud migration has a split decision.This could suggest that the modernization of systems is either to newer on-premises solutions or to cloud-enabled versions of existing solutions that users do not perceive to be true“migrations.”Additional readin

109、ortance of IM across the entire business audience is encouraging.Information management has struggled to gain visibility with executives,being seen as only a necessary cost center.However,we now live in a world where remote working and digital information are the default making information managemen

116、 within the business.There is an opportunity here for managers and employees to discuss the definition and importance of leadership and,where appropriate,set professional development goals.Equally of interest is the mismatch of the skills individuals desire compared to the needs of the organization

117、and department.For example,data analytics,project management,communication skills,and development/coding are desirable for individuals but appear to carry less weight to the business.For leaders within IM groups,marrying the ongoing career aspirations of their teams with the needs of the business wi

124、upancy rose to over 50.4%in late January 2023 but dropped then to 48.6%by late February 2023.For many working in information management,remote working does not pose technical issues they have been digitally enabled for years.However,there are documented cultural and sociological benefits of in-offic

125、e work.Perhaps the answer is not one or the other remote vs.Office but a balanced,hybrid workplace approach.Figure 20:We will return to a largely office-based mode of working within the next year N=315AgreeDisagree41%38%Removal of Paper InvoicesPaper usage within organizations has been decreasing fo

126、r years but still exists at least within the accounting department.Only 49%of our respondents think they will have eradicated paper invoices by 2025,with a quarter(25%)actively disagreeing.Invoice processing is a focus for information management,with significant emphasis from almost every vendor in

127、the space.There is an opportunity for organizations to explore why paper invoicing is still needed,the cost of continuing,and the roadblocks preventing digitalization.Figure 21:Paper invoices will be eradicated by 2025 N=308AgreeDisagree49%25%Technology Usage Driving Info Chaos but also winning the

128、warTechnology is proving to be a double-edged sword for many.A huge majority(78%)feel that technology usage is driving the vast volume,velocity,and variety of information that is flooding their organizations.However,just over half(55%)also believe technology is winning the war against information ch

129、aos.Organizations use more information systems than ever(see section above).Logically,this influx of systems is driving more volume,velocity,and variety into the IM part of the business but is it also helping control the overall information chaos?Careful thought should be applied when introducing a

130、new system,technology,or approach to ensure that it meets business requirements and does not add to the information chaos challenge.Figure 22:Technology usage is driving the vast volume,velocity,and variety of information that is flooding my organization N=314AgreeDisagree78%6%Figure 23:Technology i

132、rall,55%of respondents agree that IM is an attractive profession for recent graduates.However,this data is somewhat skewed.Firstly,the AIIM audience is heavily weighted to an established age demographic almost half(44%)of respondents from the AIIM audience are 45 years old or above,with only 14%unde

133、r 30.It appears that those who have been in the IM profession for a while think a potential career in IM is attractive 55%of those between 30 and 60 years old do indeed.However,in the 18-30 age range,50%disagree with this statement a concerning figure as this age range contains many recent graduates

134、.Therefore,as industry professionals and leaders,we must examine how to make information management attractive to the next generation of information stewards and liberators.Figure 24:Information management is an attractive profession for recent graduates N=312AgreeDisagree55%18%Skills DevelopmentThe

135、 combined respondent audiences appear to be well matched to the roles that they fulfill an overwhelming number of survey respondents(78%)feel they have the requisite skills to do their job.This confidence does not change significantly across the various age ranges 73%of 18-29 year-olds feel that the

136、y have the skills to achieve their work goals versus 81%of 45-60 year-olds.Ongoing skills development is an essential part of the growth of individuals within a role.It expands career choices,develops new areas of expertise,and is often used as a yardstick for pay raises and promotions.One could arg

137、ue that if our respondents feel that they have all the skills they need to perform their role,does this render ongoing skills development unnecessary?Not in our opinion.Having the skills needed to do the job today does not equate to“I dont want to develop new skills.”Indeed,many respondents expresse

138、d a desire to learn new skills in areas such as data analytics,project management,and communication skills(see above).Having a clear view of how and where individuals can grow their skills in the information management profession is of prime importance to both the individual and the employer.As we l

139、ook to recruit and retain the next generation of IM professionals,creating clear career pathways and ensuring career progression options are available in adjacent areas are crucial tasks for organizations(and associations such as AIIM)to assist those in the industry today and to attract a new workfo

142、dling it acts like the metaphorical thorn in the side of your department.Recommendation 1:Find a way to discuss Information Management at a higher level within the business.Aligning with topics such as cybersecurity and data privacy will deliver increased awareness and visibility.However,ensure that

143、 you do not focus only on the defensive aspects of IM,such as compliance and risk management;open the onversation to explore productivity gains,increased insight,and the broader value of good information governance.Conclusion 2:A metric that the industry returns to regularly is the number of informa

144、tion systems organizations use.As we have seen,the number keeps growing up to 4.95 systems on average this year.The rise of IM systems appears to be both fuelling the information chaos within organizations and trying to solve the problem.Recommendation 2:Carefully evaluate the growth of content syst

145、ems within your business.When a new system is introduced,ensure it is connected to a)the other information systems and b)other lines of business systems.Conclusion 3:The information management industry has an age demographic heavily biased toward those over age 30.To ensure the future success of the

146、 information management profession,we need new entrants to the workforce and clear and continued professional development for both new and established practitioners.Without both,this space will have a severe skills shortage within the next 5-15 years.Recommendation 3:Ensure that your organization is

147、 actively developing the next generation of IM professionals.Many of your existing team are a wealth of knowledge identifying ways to share their experience with peers and newer hires and nurture their successors will be critical to ensuring long-term IM capabilities within your organization.This is

148、 a pivotal moment for us all.We,as an industry and individuals,have a choice.Do we want to rest on our laurels,feel we know what we need to know,and continue as we are?Or do we want to refocus our efforts on continuous learning and creating an encouraging,engaging,and attractive environment for a ne
