AIIM Conference Summary

Well another year and another AIIM Conference has closed out. Overall I have been pleased with the Conference and the networking that I have been able to do, plus the ability to get around and see all the vendors in one space.

The presentation streams that were run by CMS Watch were informative and entertaining, plus this year there was an audio capture of all the streams so I can now listen to all the presentations in my own time and catch up on the ones that I had to miss out on because you cannot be in two places at one time.

During the course of the show Microsoft came up again and again and the main issues seems to be the uncontrolled release of SharePoint sites that spread through the organisation. Well the resolution comes back to policy and planning before "Setup.exe" is executed as if this wonderful technology is just left to go by itself there will over time be SharePoint hell in the form of isolated silos of Site collections.

So get planning and do it right, or if you already have it out there get a stock take going and get some Information Management professionals involved.
