We are now beginning the transition to a sixth era in managing people, processes, and information caused by 3 disrupters.
Paper Micro-graphics ERP
DM and Work-flow
ECM ???
CONSUMERIZATION is transforming what users expect from applications and how we deliver them.
We are now in the era of user-centric IT.
CLOUD AND MOBILE are creating an expectation of anywhere, anytime access and transforming how we
engage with customers and employees.
THE INTERNET OF THINGS is generating massive amounts of new data and information, creating enormous new challenges and opportunities.
Mancini’s Law…
Organizations are systems of information networks. They only operate effectively when there are clear and predictable information flows within and between these networks.
50% annual growth in the volume of digital information means that these networks – and especially the points of connection between them – will become increasingly unstable.
Without intervention, the resulting #infochaos will threaten the viability of the entire system.

1 ‐‐Why should you care about paper reduction and process transformation?
The speed of business is accelerating.
68% say that business‐at‐the‐speed‐of‐paper will be “unacceptable in just
a few years’ time.”
Paper problems at the core.
Only 17% work in a paper‐free office. 31% admit their office is piled high with paper documents and paper processes.
Management still not focused on the problem.
39% feel there is a general lack of understanding of paper‐free options.
2 ‐‐ In what kinds of processes can a focus on paper reduction generate quick wins?
Paper reduction yields quick results.
60% of users have seen ROI on their paper‐free projects within 12 months,
and 77% within 18 months.
Start with Accounting/Finance.
40% report that more than half of their invoices are delivered electronically ‐ but 35% agree that most get printed anyway.
Eliminate paper at the door.
38% of users show an ROI from digital mailrooms within 12 months, and 60%
within 18 months.
3 ‐‐Why is information “capture” and creation more than scanning documents into an archive?
Documents inevitably multiply.
On average, 35% of scanned documents are 100% born digital ‐‐ unchanged from printer to
scanner.
The number and form of inputs accelerating.
40% ‐> “We deal with multi‐channel content in an ad hoc way.” 35% are likely to print electronic
inbound info and process as paper.
Capturing and managing inputs a key problem.
For 67% of respondents, half or more of their main LOB processes involve connecting multi‐channel content to one managed process.
4 ‐‐ How is mobile changing how you capture and create process‐based content?
Mobile is increasingly
core to business strategy.
Two thirds recognize the importance of mobile devices for content access
and data capture.
But mobile intentions don’t match mobile
reality.
24% are not looking at any mobile projects and 39% are still in the
planning stage.
New rich metadata sources.
Mobile data sources about in automatic metadata – where, when,
and by whom.
5 ‐‐What is “case management” and why is it critical?
The repository problem not going away.
52% have three or more ECM/DM/RM systems. 22% have five or more (38% of
the largest).
Organizations lack a consistent strategy for
customer info.
30% have some degree of integrated multi‐channel inbound communications, but only 5% are auto‐routing to multiple processes.
Unpredictable process are the
norm.
For 51% of the organizations polled, half or more of their business processes are not
straightforward or predictable.
6 ‐‐ How should you handle paper, mobile, on‐premise, and cloud information so you don’t get
in trouble with the lawyers?
Even in advanced organizations, a lot of chaos still
exists.
62% are still strongly reliant on their file‐shares.
A strategy and infrastructure are the first
steps.
75% agree that ECM/RM is a fundamental part of their information security regime.
Creating an info strategy achieves
TWO core objectives.
58% ‐> case handling very important to customer experience management. 67% ‐> for legal and regulatory compliance.
7 ‐‐ How should mobile/cloud change the way you develop content and deploy processes?
Get moving, or risk the business
proceeding without you.
71% of individuals ‐> “Let’s move ECM content to the cloud.” ‐‐ For their organizations, 48% in favor of cloud, 28% resolutely against, and 28% with no
decision made as yet.
There is a shift toward
platforms with greater agility.
Per Forrester, “Firms are turning to new, ‘low‐code’ application platforms that accelerate app delivery by dramatically reducing the amount of hand‐
coding required.
You need to get to the line of business people.
In 40% of organizations, line of business heads and departmental managers are deemed responsible for “radical process review” – despite variable
expertise and motivation.
Which of the following best describes your office or typical offices in your organization?Contracts, orders, booking forms, etc., are signed on paper 22%Faxes and PDF invoices are printed out before processing 11%Most of our important stuff is referenced and filed as paper 22%Our MFPs are used more for copying than scanning 6%Piled high with paper and paper processes 11%We regularly scan documents, but mostly for archive 28%
Would you say that the consumption of paper and/or number of photocopies in your organisation is?Decreasing rapidly 6%Decreasing somewhat 39%Increasing rapidly 6%Increasing somewhat 17%Stable 33%
In general, would you say that the amount of paper flowing through your business processes is increasing or decreasing?Decreasing rapidly 6%Decreasing somewhat 44%Increasing rapidly 6%Increasing somewhat 22%Stable 22%
How would you describe progress towards eliminating paper from your business processes?They mostly work OK with paper, so we leave them that way 6%We actively look at every process with a view to driving out paper 11%We have a number of paper‐free processes and will do more 22%We have evaluated removing paper from some of our processes 28%We have one or two of the most obvious processes paper‐free 33%

Closing Keynote: 6 Steps to Process Improvement
Nirvana
1 ‐‐ ECM is morphing into multiple flavors and solutions.
• Big process flows players• Sync and share players• It’s all about the MFP players• Start with a cloud app players
• Meat and potatoes ECM players
• Double down on SP players• Keep me out of jail players
2 ‐ Adopt a process, not a technology, mindset.
• Look at how paper enters your business, where it slows things down, where it clogs up the workspace, and where it restricts information access and process flexibility.
3 – Think globally, act locally.
• Implement quick wins where electronic copies are being habitually printed as part of the workflow – for reference, for review, for signatures, or for file copies. If you have no existing paper‐free processes, pick one to trial – AP perhaps – but be careful not to produce a single‐point system with limited expansion.
4 ‐ Don’t try to do it yourself – or at least get some help.
• If you are unsure of your expertise, get a team member trained, or if you need some external input, consult a document process outsourcer and tap into their experience in your industry.
5 ‐ Be specific about your content strategy.
• Organizations at large scale will never rip out old systems and consolidate on a single one. Small organizations –especially those in green field environments – DO have an opportunity to standardize. Neither strategy is good or bad, but you do need to pick one.
6 – Does your ECM solution still fit?
• Can your legacy systems REALLY handle rapid process iteration and process agility?
• Are your current ECM systems are truly fit for purpose?
• Or do you need to start over?
Where should knowledge workers put their “stuff” so that it is…
Secure, shareable, and searchable so the ORGANIZATION can accomplish its goals
and…Works the way they work and is useful to
THEM in getting THEIR job done.
