Traditional ECRM Rationale
Enterprise content and records management (ECRM) historically justified with intangible benefits:
Productivity savings“Knowledge workers will spend less time looking for documents”
Knowledge management“We will be more effective by capturing tacit information into explicit information for re use and distribution”into explicit information for re‐use and distribution
Compliance and risk avoidance“Reliable access to current documents versions prevents us from being non‐compliant and avoids incidents”

Traditional ECRM Rationale (continued)
Difficulties with the traditional rationale:
Unable to be measuredUnable to be measured
Were the benefits ever realized?
Relied on identifying events that did not occur
Required acceptance of many assumptions

HIPAA Sarbanes‐Oxley SEC Rule 17a‐4 (US)HIPAA, Sarbanes‐Oxley, SEC Rule 17a‐4 (US)

Quantitative Benefits Guidelines

Use cost salary and time estimates that areUse cost, salary, and time estimates that are applicable in your organization
Be conservative with estimates
Extrapolating estimates for thousands of employees can yield numbers too good to be true
B li ti d it h k l iBe realistic and sanity‐check conclusions
E.g., if you save 10,000 people one hour per day, will you really eliminate the jobs of 1200 people?

Qualitative vs. Quantitative Benefits
The ability to measure an outcome does not necessarily mean that it is a quantifiable benefitecessa y ea a s a qua ab e be e
Recall earlier definition of qualitative benefits:
Positive outcomes that generally cannot be measured objectivelyImplies that some outcomes can perhaps be measured but the business value is subjectivemeasured, but the business value is subjective
Example: time savings as a result of increased productivity
Copyright © AIIM I All rights reserved.
43
Increased Productivity – Quantitative or Qualitative?
Time savings as a result of increased productivityConsidered to be qualitative in many organizations bbecause:The organization’s actual productivity metrics are not availableDisagreement on business value or financial benefit of the time savingsIt is unclear if or how benefits are realizedWill there be a reduction in full time equivalents?Will employees redirect time to other productive activities?

44
23
Increased Productivity – Quantitative or Qualitative?(continued)
May be considered a quantitative benefit if you can:
Agree on business value of savingsAgree on business value of savings
Quantify your organization’s:Average time knowledge workers spend searching for, identifying, retrieving, or recreating lost content
Expected time savings resulting from the ECRM strategy executionstrategy execution
Industry averages for time savings may not be applicable to your enterprise

45
Other potential productivity benefits:
IT team is more productive because required skills
Increased Productivity – Quantitative or Qualitative?(continued)
IT team is more productive because required skills can be focused on Microsoft and .NETOnly quantitative if wasted time or inefficiencies from maintaining multiple skills can be measured
Basic SharePoint site administration is delegated to end users, freeing up IT team for other activitiesend users, freeing up IT team for other activitiesOnly truly a benefit if labor is not simply transferred from IT to end users and instead there is a net time savings

Qualitative Benefits
Do not translate to hard dollars, but still important
Are sometimes justification enough for ECRMAre sometimes justification enough for ECRM, depending on the organization’s priorities
E.g., what dollar amount can you assign to reputation or safety?
Are best communicated with actual or relatable scenarios meaningful to the organizationscenarios meaningful to the organization
