Did you know that 43% of those polled feel they are Outlanders – lagging behind their peers – when it comes to eliminating duplicative efforts in content creation? Thirty-nine percent see themselves as Citizens – on par with their peers, while 14% feel they are Trailblazers – ahead of the pack. Where do you think you are when it comes to eliminating duplicative content creation? In this session, we will present some of the key findings from the 2017 AIIM State of the Industry Report on Digital Transformation, what it all means, and how to take some steps to move an organization forward in the digital transformation journey.

18. Conclusions
• Trailblazers know or at least understand the close
correlation between information, process, and
people
• Trailblazers look at how this change will impact
process and participants, across the end-to-end
process
• Issues raised decades ago, still remain as costly
barriers that slow or prevent forward motion
19. Recommendations
• Identify a potential business process where paper-based
information still exists and manual processes are still
heavily in use
• Document where the process slows down, what
information is involved, the sources of that information,
and who interacts with it
• Develop a strategy to leverage captured and analyzed
information across multiple departments and for multiple
purposes. Embrace the mind set of repurpose not recreate

Bob will introduce the session and Thomas, then proceed into the first stat.
Bob to cover this.
Trailblazer – Exceptional capabilities; ahead of the pack in your market space or among your peer groups
Citizen – Average capabilities; on an equal level compared to your competition and peer groups
Outlander – Below average capabilities; behind the times, typically waiting until the last minute to implement change

Bob to cover this. Chaos is the description used by 23% of respondents in relation to governance and management of multi-channel inbound information. You might call these – Citizens
Twenty-eight percent say they have no agreed upon or supported IG policies. These would be the Outlanders
Thomas to cover this. For 24%, they see themselves as having well defined practices with 23% indicating they use a value-based approach to selective archiving. These would be the Trailblazers

Bob to cover this. Twenty-nine percent of respondents are formulating IG policies for decision making – I would place them in the Citizen role.

We often hear of executive mandates related to ECM implementation, but who is really driving this?
Who is behind moving the organization along the journey’s path to reach that desired destination and point where operations, information, and interactions have reached the complete digital state?
Thomas to cover this.
For thirty-nine percent of our respondents it is IT and IT services pushing for digital transformation, while for thirty-one percent, the corporate executives are driving it. Surprisingly, only ten percent indicate it is records and information management at the helm of their digital transformation journey.
Bob to cover this.
The human factor is still one of the biggest challenges to success. User adoption and this is not new. User adoption has been an issue since the beginning. I will give some historical examples.
Thomas to cover this.
We asked our respondents to look back and look ahead, to share their perceptions of how spending will occur in the next twelve months compared to the past twelve. Nearly half indicate their organizations will spend more on cloud and Software as a Service options. Thirty-eight percent emphasize spending on storage while only twenty percent will focus on external training and education. (Figure 29) Given that the human factor and user adoption are the biggest hurdles, one might expect increased spending on education and training to eliminate that hurdle.
