    John--very timely, especially with Senator Waxman Bill 5811 and April's GAO report and testimony.

    Great presentation John. Also, I really love the idea of Information Zen - my congratulations on starting a true professional, Web 2.0 community site for Content Management community.

    I really appreciate this presentation...the message is timely and worth sharing with the decision-makers in my company...and works as inspiration for all kinds of ordering and minimizing (i.e., business simplification) efforts...really good. I also appreciate that the text is the design...and the use of imagery is limited. The message needs this kind of design and you've hit it dead on! Congratualtions. Really nice.

  4. What do you mean by “digital landfill?”
  5. Word files PowerPoint files Excel files …and multiple various versions of these documents JPEGs TIFFs E-mails …and all their attachments Business system documents …on the network on PCs on sticks on phones on PDAs …and so on
  6. In technical terms…
  7. DIGITAL STUFF
  8. Most of which is stored haphazardly on a variety of servers and drives…
  9. …and getting worse
  10. By 2011, the digital universe will be 10X as big as it was in 2006 h\"p://www.emc.com/digital_universe.pdf
  11. There are currently 281 billion exabytes of information in the digital universe h\"p://www.emc.com/digital_universe.pdf
  12. Q. What the hell is an exabyte?
  13. A. A million million megabytes
  14. No really.
  15. A small novel contains about a megabyte of information h\"p://www.emc.com/digital_universe.pdf
  16. The digital universe equals 12 stacks of these books from the earth to the sun. h\"p://www.emc.com/digital_universe.pdf
  17. Isn’t most of this just people taking gazillions of digital pictures and sending them around to their friends and downloading videos from iTunes?
  18. A lot of it is...
  19. 30% … but about of the total volume of information in the digital universe is created by businesses and organizations… h\"p://www.emc.com/digital_universe.pdf
  20. …and most of it is unmanaged.
  21. Think about e-mail…
  22. Only 13% of organizations have deployed an e-mail management strategy across their organization. h\"p://www.aiim.org/tempfiles/32054.pdf

  25. ??? 25
  26. 56% of organizations have no policy at all relative to e-mail retention. h\"p://www.aiim.org/tempfiles/32054.pdf
  27. That amounts to little more than an e-mail digital landfill.
  28. Think about other kinds of electronic information…
  29. …most organizations have not begun to address the core process of managing electronic information...
  30. …you likely have core systems to manage the MONEY in your organization and the PEOPLE in your organization...
  31. …but what about INFORMATION?
  32. Over 40% of organizations have no policy for classifying electronic information as business records. h\"p://www.aiim.org/tempfiles/32315.pdf
  33. Nearly 64% of end users believe that their organization understands what PAPER records are and how they should be retained — h\"p://www.aiim.org/tempfiles/31842.pdf
  34. Nearly 64% of end users believe that their organization understands what PAPER records are and how they should be retained — only 34% have the same understanding when considering ELECTRONIC records. h\"p://www.aiim.org/tempfiles/31842.pdf
  35. That means most electronic information winds up in the digital landfill.
  36. …with names like johnsfile/stuff.doc and johnsfile/stuff2.doc
  37. Think about legal exposure…
  38. Only 41% of organizations deliver any sort of training on how to handle electronic information. h\"p://www.aiim.org/tempfiles/32315.pdf
  39. That means the CEO is going to have an awful hard time in court explaining his/her digital landfill.
  40. Think about process inefficiency…
  41. On a scale of 1 (terrible) to 10 (excellent) how would you rate the effectiveness of your organization in managing information? h\"p://www.aiim.org/tempfiles/34370.pdf
  42. On a scale of 1 (terrible) to 10 (excellent) how would you rate the effectiveness of your organization in managing information? 54% would give themselves a grade of 5 or less. h\"p://www.aiim.org/tempfiles/34370.pdf
  43. 52% of organizations have “little or no confidence” that their electronic information is “accurate, accessible, and trustworthy.” h\"p://www.aiim.org/tempfiles/34370.pdf
  44. …and yet over 90% of organizations view their ability to manage electronic information as critical to their future.
  45. That means most organizations are pretending the digital landfill does not exist.
  46. A few questions to consider…
  47. Be honest.
  48. How many digital landfills are there in your organization?
  49. Is the explosion of digital information making your organization more effective or less effective?
  50. Can your employees find the information they need when they need it?
  51. Can your employees collaborate on projects no matter where they are located in the world?
  52. Has your ability to document what your organization did, why you did it, who did it, and when they did it gotten better or worse in the past 5 years?
  53. Can your customers find the information they need when they need it?
  54. Are your processes running as smoothly as they should?
  55. If you were dragged into court, would the process you use to manage electronic information stand up to scrutiny?
  56. If the answers to one or more of these questions are NO you are not alone.
  57. Get some help.
