Records management could be moving to the cloud

 

Since we are working hard to bring records management to the cloud, it is very encouraging to see articles like this. It looks like we may be becoming mainstream!

Last week I wrote about some broad trends causing major shifts in the ECM market (in “Could we be witnessing the end of ECM as we’ve known it“). Tony Byrne from Real Story Group reacted to my piece by saying I got the big pieces right, but I failed to account for what he called “prosaic document imaging/management/records management.” Interestingly enough, I was at the annual MIT CIO conference last week and spoke to Mark Forman, a partner from KPMG who consults with the federal government (and who was recently interviewed by sister-site FierceGovernmentIT). Forman said increasingly he’s seeing business processes, essentially document management functions, being done in the cloud, and he thinks it won’t be long before this is the norm.
