Where do we go from here?
The evolution of ECM is almost as interesting as where it is going. I’ve been spending much of my time in recent weeks with very large clients and Gov’t Organizations that dwarf the fortune 10. I find it fascinating that they don’t seem to have clear vision on the value that ECM can bring to their organization.
Perhaps it is the size, we all understand that small organizations can turn on a dime, can adopt new strategies faster, and generically understand how to leverage technology to meet their needs. Perhaps it is out of necessity that small organizations can do this.
The only hope that large organizations have are:
1. Leadership that is infused with visionaries.
2. Understanding what small changes can have appreciable impacts.
Sure the first is obvious, someone in any organization needs to make a decision that ECM or any software for that matter can make a difference. Almost to the extent that it could be a game changer. Second, well it is rare that sizable organization take on a fundamental change, implement new strategies, or entirely change direction. More to the point it is about making subtle changes that have significant impact. Thus implementing a cohesive strategy one little change at a time.
