The session will address strategic and practical needs of each party, as well as the cultural needs of the employees who will be affected. Understanding the KPIs of each group will open channels for improved communication and identify common goals that can be streamlined with better collaboration. Whether you work in a small corporation, or a large government body, this session will help you to build a better business case that resonates with all parties.

Title: Managing Unstructured Content: Is Manual Metadata Capture a Practice of the Past?

Speaker: David Garzón

Time: Session #WE1D on Wednesday April 27 at 9:00AM (CST)

Full Description:

Us in the RIM community love process, right? Without it we would live in total chaos, our records would go missing, the risk meter would be crimson red, and the stress would be too much to bear. As such, we strive to create best practices and policies for those who are creating records. The result? Well, simply put, there's a gap between reality and our dreams. Analysis has proven that relying on manual input = non-compliance.

Join us for this interactive discussion and let’s work through the challenges your organization is facing when dealing with structured and unstructured content.

 This info session will cover:

  1. How most RM programs look today:

    • How the world currently works with emphasis on email management, and Content Types / Metadata capture

    • The amount of effort spent trying to build the perfect information architecture only to have users bypass it

  2. Where technology is today and where it is heading:

    • How rules engines and Machine Learning can be used to auto-categorize, making the achievement of compliance without user participation much more realistic

    • How moving to a data lake approach sets up all these capabilities, since source systems are not designed for automated RM or machine learning

    • How the best approach is to leverage a transparent solution controlled by the records team so that users don't even know RM is happening in the background

  3. Concrete next steps you can take to begin applying these methods to your RM strategy and planning a rollout that aligns the needs of your IT, RM & Operations teams.
