Yesterday, I had the fortunate opportunity to have lunch with a group of top CIO leaders from various agencies in the Commonwealth of Virginia as we discussed topics for an upcoming technology show that we share sponsorship. What struck me as fascinating is that these top IT professionals, many from very large organizations, shared a common frustration: that the information world is moving at the speed of light, and they were concerned that their organizations were falling behind. Comments like “When are you going to embrace the cloud?” and “How do you manage or control employees’ use of personal mobile devices?” or “How do we get anything done with 2-3 eDiscovery cases hitting us each week?” popped all around the table. The common denominator from the forum was that rapid and accelerated change and expectations were driving them, not the other way around. And so it occurred to me yet again that the best defense against massive change is a good offense – Agile ECM. Having the framework in place for:

• Rapid Deployment
• Streamlined Development
• And Central Control with Local Flexibility

Giving these top IT leaders the agility to move fast and stay ahead of the change curve, and also the governance framework to manage the information assets of the enterprise. How agile is your ECM today?
