Nuance Conference Barcelona Dec 3rd The Future of Capture Technologies Doug Miles Director of Market Intelligence AIIM 1
The Opportunity: Information is the world s new currency.
But amidst this opportunity, these are the kinds of things we hear
The Reality: Our file servers are out of control and no one can find anything.
The Reality: Information is leaking out of the organization at every turn via devices that weren t even invented when we put our systems in place.
The Reality: The volume of stuff we are trying to manage is rapidly spinning out of control.
The Reality: Maximizing our SharePoint investment is proving more difficult than we thought.
The Reality: Every time I turn around, the business has implemented some new application that we didn t even know about in IT.
The Reality: As the CEO, I can t believe we are not getting more value out of the money we spend on technology.
Welcome to the era of Information Chaos.
How did we wind up here?
1 Consumerisation is transforming what users expect from applications and how we deliver them.
2 Cloud and Mobile are creating an expectation of anywhere, anytime access.
3 The Changing Nature of Work is forcing organizations to think flat and agile, not hierarchical and slow.
Managing Information Chaos managing the volume, variety and velocity of information and content created by these three disrupters -- is THE business challenge of the next decade.
