3. “ Effective information management will be critical in the next decade, differentiating those enterprises that will implode under the infoglut from those that will use it to dominate the global economy."

Knowing Your Organization's Goals Before Choosing A Product Choosing an electronic records management product is an important milestone. But to choose the best product, you must establish your organization's goals. Whether your electronic records program is chartered to reduce risk, empower legal counsel, lower litigation costs, or a combination of these and other factors, your goals will affect the package you choose. Knowing whether your business requires a DOD 5015.2 certified system, whether you are subject to multiple state or international jurisdictions for your retention schedule, and other factors can also affect the package you choose. These factors can also affect your selection process (will you require a pilot program?) and your ongoing success, such as how you will ensure user adoption and continued executive support. Your organization may have specialized requirements due to your industry or other factors, but more than just a feature comparison, your selection should consider which vendor‘s product, people and approach best aligns with your goals.
